Synopsis

This second edition of a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of geophysics reflects the most recent research on the natural magnetic fields in and surrounding the Earth arising from a variety of electric currents. Readers are introduced to the instrumentation for measuring geomagnetic fields, and to the applications of these techniques. Designed for use in a semester course, the volume includes student exercises at the end of each chapter. First Edition Hb (1997): 0-521-57193-6

Book Description

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 that arise from a variety of electric currents. Readers are also introduced to the instrumentation for measuring geomagnetic fields, and to the applications of these techniques. This second edition has been fully revised to include of the most recent advances in the subject area. It has been designed for use on a semester course and includes student exercises at the end of each chapter.

Review

"This second edition...reflects the most recent research on the natural magnetic fields in and surrounding the Earth arising from a variety of electric currents." Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society

"...a good introduction for the nonspecialist." Subir K. Banerjee, Physics Today

"The book functions as an excellent textbook for a senior undergraduate or graduate course in geomagnetism. Furthermore, exploration geophysicists involved in magnetic prospecting should read the book to stay on top of their subject. The computer programs and the access to the listed databases are well worth the price of the book." SEG The Leading Edge

"...an excellent, up-to-date work...." Pure and Applied Geophysics
