MEASURING TERRESTRIAL MAGNETISM: the evolution of the AIRBORNE MAGNETOMETER and the first anti-submarine and aeromagnetic survey operations. People, Planes, Places and Events 1100s-1949

摘要

This book is a tour de force ofmeticulous research combinedwith detailed documentation ofthe development of instruments tomeasure the earth’s magnetic fieldspanning the last millennium. Theauthor has a long career in the practicalapplication of airborne geophysicalmapping, together with enthusiasmfor geophysical history and the rareresearch skills and perseverance topursue primary sources. His astonishingattention to detail, combined withcareful analysis of (sometimes)conflicting descriptions of equipmentand events, has produced a volumeunsurpassed as a history of thepractical development of airbornemagnetics.
