Matt's trip to India
March 10 - 20, 2001


I didn't go to India just for vacation. I actually went to present a paper on behalf of my advisor at a conference about magnetic storms and substorms and their relationships (or lack thereof). The conference was hosted and sponsored in part by the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism with support from the American Geophyscial Union and all sorts of other national and international science organizations and governmental agencies from both countries.


First off, here's a picutre of the conference participants taken on Tuesday. (Click on the image or any of the following images to see a larger version.)


Here are some pictures taken by the conference photographer (that's why they're good).


Bob Clauer and me at the registration desk (it's staged). Please excuse my horrible posture. I hadn't slept in a bed for almost 36 hours - including 20 hours on an airplane plus spending the previous night in a broken down bus on the highway.


The view of the water park and scenery surrounding Lonavala from the hotel.
Here's the view from my hotel room.


My talk.


Still talking.


On the grounds of the magnetic observatory at Alibag. Behind the stone wall on the far right is the Arabian Sea.
I took some pictures from the top of the tower.


The site of the new Indian Institute of Geomagnetism near Mumbai.


Here are some of my pictures
