Environmental Magnetism, Volume 86: Principles and Applications of Enviromagnetics (International Geophysics)


Product Description
Magnetism is important in environmental studies for several reasons, the two most fundamental being that most substances exhibit some form of magnetic behavior, and that iron is one of the most common elements in the Earth's crust. Once sequestered in a suitable material, magnetic particles constitute a natural archive of conditions existing in former times. Magnetism provides a tracer of paleo-climatic and paleo-environmental conditions and processes.Environmental Magnetism details the occurrence and uses of magnetic materials in the natural environment. The first half of the volume describes the basic principles. The second half discusses the applications of magnetic measurements in various environmental settings on land, in lakes, in the ocean, and even various biological organisms.
* Material is broadly applicable to environmental studies
* Case histories illustrate key points
* Extensive bibliography makes further research quick and easy
Environmental Magnetism, Volume 86: Principles and Applications of Enviromagnetics (International Geophysics) Review
When I browsed the Academic Press title, "Environmental Magnetism: Principles and Applications of Enviromagnetics", at the AGU meeting in San Francisco this past December, I thought the term 'enviromagnetics' was presumptous -- just like a Aussie-Canadian (Evans) to spam new techno-babble. That was before I put my credit card down (at a 20% show discount!) and cracked it open at my hotel. Well, yes, I have been enlighted -- Ted Evans and Friedrich Heller are justified in coining the term ENVIROMAGNETICS -- this book delivers and how: It truly is an indispensable reference work for undergraduates, researchers, lecturers, and professionals in geomagnetism, geology, pedology, archaeology, oceanography, climatology, and earth system science. In a macadamia shell, their writing is clear and accessible. Thanks guys, with your talent you should write a general geophysics textbook.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Environmental Magnetism, Volume 86: Principles and Applications of Enviromagnetics (International Geophysics)" are high quality item. You can read each testimony from consumers to find out cons and pros from Environmental Magnetism, Volume 86: Principles and Applications of Enviromagnetics (International Geophysics) ...
