New IAGA Division VI webpage active
The IAGA WG I.2 proposal to become an IAGA division submitted to IAGA on 18th November 2014 was accepted at the IAGA Conference of Delegates (23rd June 2015, Prague IUGG). On June 27th 2015, the WG I.2 was transformed into Division VI “EM Induction in the Earth and Planetary Bodies”.
As it was discussed and adopted during the IAGA WG I.2 business meeting on June 24th, it is central to new Division VI operations to setup and maintain a fully independent electronic platform for the official business such as election information, calls for nominations, provision of meeting agendas etc.
Technically, the webpages are hosted by the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, a Public Law Foundation. But responsibility for the content of the webpages is entirely to IAGA Division VI. Further procedures and duties in terms of web administration and content will be discussed at the 23rd EM Induction workshop in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
