IGEMS (Interdisciplinary Group for the Exploration of Magnetospheric Science)

IGEMS (Interdisciplinary Group for the Exploration of Magnetospheric Science) is a collaborative organization dedicated to studying Earth's magnetosphere—the magnetic shield surrounding our planet. By integrating expertise from fields like space physics, Earth science, and engineering, IGEMS aims to understand how solar wind and magnetic fields interact with Earth’s environment. This research helps us comprehend phenomena such as space weather, which can affect satellite operations, communications, and power systems. Through coordinated efforts and data sharing, IGEMS advances knowledge of the dynamic space environment around Earth, contributing to the protection of technological infrastructure and the broader understanding of planetary magnetic systems.
