As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.

Featured Article: Co-estimation of geomagnetic field and in-orbit fluxgate magnetometer calibration parameters
Alken et al. (2020) has developed a novel approach to calibrate vector fluxgate magnetometers in-orbit in order to investigate large-scale geomagnetic field signals originating in Earth’s core. This technique has been used to study a global geomagnetic jerk event in 2012, and could be applied to study Earth’s magnetic field dynamics in future periods when dedicated geomagnetic satellite missions are unavailable.
This article was a contribution to the special issue “Characterization of the geomagnetic field and its dynamic environment using data from space-based magnetometers”

Featured Article: Geodesy in Japan: legends and highlights
Geodesy is a field in Earth science to study the shape, gravity, and rotation of the Earth, including their chages in time. Heki (2020) overviews the history of geodesy in Japan, beginning from the first meridian arc length measurement in Japan around 1800 AD. The paper then reviews an early example of international recognition of Japanese geodesy by the Z-term of the Earth’s polar motion around 1900 AD, and an unsuccessful attempt to detect continental drift in Japan around 1930 AD. The article emphasizes the future trans-disciplinary role of Japanese geodesy showing an example of comprehensive geodetic study of the 2019 typhoon Hagibis.
