Present activities and research projects at the Department for International Affairs, which runs the World Data Center C1 for geomagnetic recordings, are presented together with activities at the Geophysical Department 1 concerning determination of the earth magnetic field over Denmark; real time recording of weather-data transmitted from satellites; and measurements of diurnal and yearly variation of the electron content in the atmosphere within the auroral oval. Work carried out at Geophysical Department 2 is also discussed and involves routine geomagnetic observations from observatories in Greenland (Narssarssuaq - Godhavn - Thule); study of currents in the polar ionosphere and their relation with the interplanetary magnetic field; and investigations of the geographic distribution of precipitation of auroral particles (mainly electrons in the range of 100 eV to 50 keV.)
