Geomagnetism andSeismoelectromagnetismSarmoko et al., 2006, “ULF geomagnetic anomalyassociated with the Sumatra earthquakes” – found that …variations at Kototabang exhibit an anomalous changes afew weeks before the larger earthquakes with M>6.5, whilethere are no apparent changes in Biak data. This suggeststhat the anomalous change might be a possible signalrelated with the earthquake preparation phase of Sumatraearthquakes.

Preparation of IHY 2007Participate in Coordinated InvestigationPrograms through 5 working groups:(1) Solar Physics and Heliophysics,(2) Sun-Earth Connection,(3) Geomagnetism,(4) Ionosphere,(5) Instrumentation and Database.

Preparation of IHY 2007Working Group (6) “IGY Anniversary andPublic Education” will make coordination withrelated institution to1. do activities for 50 year anniversary IGY (e.g.identify Indonesian people participated on IGY1957),2. do public education on the role Earth andSpace Sciences that is IHY focus, and3. do effort to ask ‘Pos Indonesia’ to issue stampson 50 year IGY anniversary and IHY 2007.

Concluding Remarks• We aware that many our research activities are stillanalyzing local characteristics and trying find out thephysical mechanism by correlating some related availableparameters, but it is still far from universal processesapproach, due lack of data.• Through local observational facilities and internationalcollaborations, Indonesian scientists do efforts toparticipate in IHY’s CIPs in understanding heliophysicaluniversal processes.• International data exchange, open database, free/lowcost analysis software, and research collaboration duringIHY 2007 – 2008 and beyond are expected to promotebasic space science research in developing countries likeIndonesia for national capacity building.
