Description Magnetic Stratigraphy is the most comprehensive book written in the English language on the subject of magnetic polarity stratigraphy
and time scales. This volume presents the entirety of the known geomagneticrecord, which now extends back about 300 million years. The
book includes the results of current research on sea floor spreading, magnetic stratigraphy of the Pliocene and Pleistocene, and postulations
on the Paleozoic. Also included are both historicalbackground and applications of magnetostratigraphy. Individual chapters on correlation
are presented, using changes in magnetic properties and secular variation.
Audience
Researchers in stratigraphy and related Earth Sciences.
