Methods in Rock Magnetism and Palaeomagnetism Techniques and instrumentation

Methods in Rock Magnetism and Palaeomagnetism Techniques and instrumentation / edited by D. Collinson.

During the last 30 years the study of the magnetic properties of rocks and minerals has substantially contributed to several fields of science. Perhaps the best known and most significant advances have resulted from the study of palaeomagnetism, which led to quantitative confirmation of continental...
