International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy

The International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA) is a scientific organization that studies the Earth's magnetic field and upper atmosphere. It coordinates global research efforts to understand phenomena like magnetic storms, auroras, and space weather, which can affect satellites, communication systems, and navigation. By facilitating international collaboration and data sharing, IAGA advances knowledge about Earth's magnetism, planetary magnetic fields, and the Earth's interactions with the space environment, contributing to safety and technological stability in our increasingly connected world.
