Solar and geomagnetic variability are of considerable interest for
scientists of many different persuasions and indeed one has the
distinct impression that for the sun at least, there is direct
relevance for mankind in general as the interrelation between solar
and terrestrial phenomena is starting to be appreciated. From the
vast time scale of interest in the variability field, attention was
confined to the last 10,000 years in a NATO Advanced Research
Workshop held from April 6 - 10, 1987 in Durham, England, and the
present publication comprises the lectures given there. Such a
Workshop was very timely in view of the impressive new data
available from 14C analysis in dated tree rings and lOBe in polar
ice cores, from natural palaeomagnetic records in lacustrine
sediments and from archaeomagnetic material. Also to be mentioned
are new studies of historical accounts of naked-eye sunspots and
aurorae. All the data have contributed to improvements in under
standing the relative variations of solar properties, the
geomagnetic field and climate and it is hoped that this volume will
convey the flavour of these advances in knowledge. A feature of the
Workshop was the lively discussions which followed so many of the
papers. There were several instances of healthy disagreement and
this is reflected in the opposing views presented inanumber of the
papers published here."
