Introduction to Geomagnetic Fields

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


Book Description
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

"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. Such electric currents exist within atomic structures, in the Earth's liquid outer core, in the ionized upper atmosphere, and in the Earth's space environment during solar-terrestrial disturbances (magnetic storms)." This second edition has been fully revised to include the most recent advances in this subject area. It has been designed as a text-book for use with semester courses in geomagnetism and includes student exercises at the end of each chapter. Special appendices review relevant mathematical techniques and direct the reader to various journals, books, organizations, and websites where the latest computer programs for geomagnetism may be downloaded.
