University of Graz - Institute for Geophysics, Astrophysics and Meteorology

The Institute for Geophysics, Astrophysics and Meteorology (IGAM) is specialised in solar physics research including the physics of the space weather at Earth, and in modern satellite-based methods for remote sensing of the atmosphere and the climate system. IGAM operates the Kanzelhöhe Observatory for Solar and Environmental Research (www.kso.ac.at), which performs state-of-the art solar and environmental observations.

The institute conducts research in the areas of solar physics, the physics of our space weather, stellar physics, and climate and environmental physics. Solar and environmental observations are carried out by its Kanzelhöhe Observatory.
