The authors analyze the contribution of geomagnetism both in general geological fields, such as tectonics and geodynamics, and in applied ones, such as prospecting and pollution. The book is designed to provide a general overview of geomagnetism, and an understanding of the contributions this branch of science makes in the specialized sectors of Earth sciences."--BOOK JACKET UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0813/2005936734-t.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0813/2005936734-d.html ER -
