Earth 's magnetic field is currently changing dramatically. Is
the observed decrease of the dipole moment indicating a future
polarity transition? What would be the effects of such a drastic
change on system Earth? Can any positive or negative effects on our
biosphere or even humans be expected?
This book gives a first overview about the geomagnetic field in
general and serves as an introduction into geomagnetism. As the
topic of the book covers a wide range of scientific disciplines,
the first chapter summarises basic principles of geomagnetism and
related fields including a historic overview, instruments and
measurements, paleomagnetic fields, basics of dynamo theory, etc.
The contributed chapters review major results of international
activities aiming at understanding the causes and effects of
geomagnetic field variations in view of the questions above.
