Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWill B is a Global Geomagnetic Field Modeller at the British Geological Survey with eight years of experience in observational geomagnetism and global field modelling. He leads contributions to major global products including the BGS Global Geomagnetic Model, the World Magnetic Model and the International Geomagnetic Reference Field, and validates Swarm satellite data for ESA. His academic work, grounded in a PhD from the University of Leeds, focuses on rapid secular variation and geomagnetic jerks—subtle, sudden changes in Earth’s magnetic field. He also lectures on geomagnetism at the University of Edinburgh, bridging research and teaching. Based in Edinburgh, he maintains up-to-date outputs via institutional and Google Scholar profiles, signalling an active role in both operational modelling and peer-reviewed research.
