Francois Chamalaun and the AWAGS dataset
<div>Dr Francois Chamalaun passed away in Adelaide, Australia, in April 2024. Francois was a Senior Lecturer in Geophysics at Flinders University in South Australia and foundation Chairman of its School of Earth Sciences. He was an internationally respected scientist, enthusiastic teacher, and valued mentor. His 40-year research career led to new insights into the electrical structure of the Earth and its atmosphere, particularly in Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, India, and New Zealand.</div><div><br></div><div>Much of this research was made possible through the development by Francois and Flinders University technical officer Bob Walker of a portable self-contained microprocessor-based three-component magnetometer. This is a short reflection on the use of this innovative instrument in the first-of-its-kind Australia-Wide Array of Geomagnetic Stations (AWAGS).

- Purpose
-
This article is a reflection on the work of the late Dr Francois Chamalaun on the Australia-Wide Array of Geomagnetic Stations (AWAGS) and its importance to the study of spatio-temporal magnetic-field variations in Australia. It is intended as a tribute to Dr Chamalaun to be submitted for publication in the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysics (ASEG) Preview magazine.
