The ‘Task Group on Earth and Space Science Data Interoperability’ (TG-ESSDI)<\/a>\u00a0published an\u00a0electronic version of the first edition of the Atlas of the Earth’s Magnetic Field<\/em> in 2013. It includes a unified set of physical, geographic, thematic, and historical materials for a detailed study of the geomagnetic field from 1500 to 2010. The Atlas<\/em> is intended for a wide range of scientists, teachers, students and experts in applied areas relating to the geosciences, including geologists and geophysicists studying geomagnetism. The Atlas<\/em> is a unique cartographic product that contains comprehensive and scientifically grounded characteristics of geomagnetic phenomenon, and contains the results of historical and modern studies of the Earth’s magnetic field.<\/p>\n

\"Atlas<\/a>In May 2015, with support from CODATA and hosted by ICSU, TG-ESSDI organised an international workshop on ‘The Atlas of the Earth\u2019s Magnetic Field. Second Edition’. The meeting was designed as a launch event for the project to create the second edition of The\u00a0Atlas<\/em>, with the aim of significantly extending the content of\u00a0The Atlas<\/em>. The list of participants included specialists in the geomagnetic studies with representatives from the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris<\/a>, the Commission for the Geological Map of the World (CGMW)<\/a>, the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA)<\/a>, and the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG)<\/a> etc.<\/p>\n

The workshop resulted in a\u00a0document that is expected to become the base for the content of the Second Edition. It was agreed\u00a0to include following new or extended chapters:<\/p>\n
