IZMIRAN

IZMIRAN is an abbreviation or acronym most commonly referring to the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Russian: Институт земного магнетизма, ионосферы и распространения радиоволн им. Н.В. Пушкова РАН), abbreviated as IZMIRAN (ИЗМИРАН) in Russian.

IZMIRAN is a leading Russian research institute focused on the study of solar-terrestrial physics. Its research areas encompass a wide range of phenomena, including:

• Geomagnetism: The study of the Earth's magnetic field and its variations.
• Ionosphere: The study of the ionized part of the Earth's upper atmosphere.
• Space Weather: The study of the conditions in space that can affect Earth and its technological systems.
• Radio Wave Propagation: The study of how radio waves travel through the atmosphere.
• Solar Physics: The study of the Sun and its activity.

IZMIRAN conducts research through theoretical modeling, experimental observations, and data analysis. It operates a network of observatories and collaborates with other research institutions around the world. The institute's research contributes to our understanding of the complex interactions between the Sun and the Earth, and helps to predict and mitigate the effects of space weather events. The institute is named after Nikolay Vasilyevich Pushkov, a prominent Soviet geophysicist.
