Wang, Si; Huang, Shiqi; Liu, Chenchen; Tang, Ziqian; Shi, Qingfan; Schulte, Jurgen – Physics Teacher, 2021
The directional feature of Earth's geomagnetic field has been contributing to the technological development and prosperity of humankind since the invention of the magnetic compass navigation centuries ago. Today, for instance, magnetoresistance sensors are commonly used in nanosatellites and unmanned aerial vehicles for high accuracy geomagnetic…

Robinson, Ian; Robinson, Saul; Robinson, Nathan – Physics Education, 2020
Described here is a well established opensource geophysics project to monitor atmospheric infrasound 24/7. It employs a modern digital, I[superscript 2]C enabled differential pressure sensor--unlike the older analog devices more commonly used. Python software automatically uploads plots whilst data is stored in standard ".mseed" format…
