Moving beyond the IGY: the electronic Geophysical Year (eGY) concept
The International Geophysical Year (1957–1958) was inspired by the realization that much better and more complete information was needed about the Earth and geospace to understandand manage the complete terrestrial environment on which we depend. So it was that the IGY member countries worked togeth...
