{"product_id":"encyclopedia-of-geomagnetism-and-paleomagnetism-9781402039928","title":"Encyclopedia of Geomagnetism and Paleomagnetism","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeomagnetism, the oldest Earth science, studies the Earth's magnetic field in its broadest sense. Paleomagnetism is the study of magnetic record left in rocks. Both sciences have applications in navigation, in the search for minerals and hydrocarbons, in dating rock sequences, and in unraveling past geologic movements such as plate motions they have contributed to a better understanding of the Earth. Consisting of more than 300 articles written by leading experts, this authoritative reference encompasses the fields of Geomagnetism and Paleomagnetism in a single volume. It describes in fine detail the current state of knowledge and provides an up-to-date synthesis of the most basic concepts. It is an indispensable working tool not only for geophysicists and geophysics students but also for geologists, physicists, atmospheric and environmental scientists, and engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Gubbins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1054\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.08h x 8.67w x 1.86d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781402039928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Gubbins is Research Professor of Earth Sciences in the School of Earth \u0026amp; Environment, University of Leeds, UK. He did his PhD on geomagnetic dynamos in Cambridge, supervised by Sir Edward Bullard (qv.) and has worked in the USA and in Cambridge before moving to Leeds in 1989. His work has included dynamo theory and its connection with the Earth's thermal history, modelling the Earth's magnetic field from historical measurements, and recently the interpretation of paleomagnetic data. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and has been awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society and the John Adam Fleming (qv.) Medal of the American Geophysical Union for original research and leadership in geomagnetism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmilio Herrero-Bervera is Research Professor of Geophysics at the School of Ocean Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) within the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology (HIGP) of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where he is the head of the Paleomagnetics and Petrofabrics Laboratory. During his career he has published over 90 papers in professional journals including Nature, JGR, EPSL, JVGR. He has worked in such diverse fields as volcanology, sedimentology, plate tectonics and has done field work on 5 continents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44305802854515,"sku":"9781402039928","price":1018.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_2f7c1736-d7bf-4f7c-9a33-76afce1a7fd6.jpg?v=1770987754","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/encyclopedia-of-geomagnetism-and-paleomagnetism-9781402039928","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
