- Long term
    - New *Swarm* Python packages (*toolkits*) & strengthening of wider community packages
    - Geomagnetic data cubes?: reprocessed magnetic data with residuals to different model combinations, aggregated onto a high resolution grid, disseminated by cloud tech (would enable rapid remote access to full dataset)
