## What is Magnetic Earth?

New (and existing) researchers face a bewildering landscape of literature, data, tools, services, and organisations they must navigate in order to be productive. With the study of Earth's magnetic fields at the centre, the mission of *Magnetic Earth* is to improve this experience by:

- maintaining a simple introductory resource at magneticearth.org, interlinking other resources
- identifying and promoting relevant projects (e.g. seminars, software, organisations)
- ? hosting meetings to increase adoption and coordinated development of tools

and to do this with an open-source and community-owned approach, backed by code at https://github.com/MagneticEarth/.
