Summary of activities since the 2010 General Assembly


1. Facilitating extension of multi-disciplinary and encyclopedic intelligent GIS on CIS countries for thewhole Globe in the framework of promotion of establishment and usage of modern and open data access standards, metadata exchange and inter-operability;


2. Contribution to electronic publication of World Atlas of Earth’s Magnetic Field for 1500-2010 thus promoting exchange of geomagnetic data worldwide;


3. Participation in deployment of a new geomagnetic center for the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries with modern tools for data collecting, processing and exchange;


4. Organization of International Workshop “Artificial Intelligence in the Earth’s Magnetic Field Study. INTERMAGNET Russian Segment”, which will be held on 26-28 January 2011 in Uglich, Yaroslavl region, Russia.
