Understanding the process underlying the origin of Earth magnetic field is one of the
greatest challenges left to classical Physics. Geomagnetism, being the oldest Earth science …

An introductory guide to global magnetic field properties, Earth Magnetism addresses, in
non-technical prose, many of the frequently asked questions about Earth's magnetic field …

The geomagnetic field acts both as an umbrella, shielding us from cosmic radiation and as a
window, offering one of the few glimpses of the inner workings of the Earth. Ancient records …

Paleomagnetism is the study of the fossil magnetism in rocks. It has been paramount in
determining that the continents have drifted over the surface of the Earth throughout …

Terms such as continental drift, seafloor spreading, and plate tectonics are understood even
by nongeologists to reflect the mobility of the Earth's lithospheric plates. The revolution in the …

Palaeomagnetism and archaeomagnetism are fascinating specialized studies because they
are applicable to such a wide range of problems in geology, archaeology and geophysics …

Paleomagnetic data are useful in many applications in Earth Science from determining
paleocurrent directions to analyzing the long-term behavior of the geomagnetic field. In this …

Introduction to Geomagnetic Fields is a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate
students of geophysics. It explains the natural magnetic fields in and surrounding the Earth …

The history of geomagnetism began around the year 1000 with the discovery in China of the
magnetic compass. Methodical studies of the Earth's field started in 1600 with William …
