BUCHAREST, SURLARI OBSERVATORY, ROMANIA 16 - 18 th October 2008 Author: Anca Isac, 2008

We welcome the Surlari National Geomagnetic Observatory, founded on October 16, 1943 by the Geological Institute of Romania, who celebrates the 65 th year of continuous work in October 2008. The main topics of the Symposium and Workshop will be the practical and theoretical problems associated with observations of the natural geomagnetic field at geomagnetic observatories. The intent is to stimulate participant discussions in aim of the exchange of information and experience related to the methodology of such observations. Author: Anca Isac, 2008

Invitation to Presenters • Contributions are invited for poster and oral presentation in the areas of observatory practice and application relating to observatory data (space weather, solid Earth studies, etc. ) • We emphasize the character of a workshop. Therefore, we encourage presentations of work in progress. We propose open discussions after the talks. Short oral poster introductions are possible. Author: Anca Isac, 2008

Sessions and Workshops are planned on: • Magnetic Observatories: from compass to flux-gate epoch; • From deep core to space: long term and short term variations of geomagnetic field; • Magnetic Observatories and Satellites: a needed synergy to characterize the geomagnetic field; • Magnetism and our world: from current to future applications; Author: Anca Isac, 2008
