Paleomagnetic field analysis occupies a separate place in the
variety of studied physical parameters, since it assists us in
obtaining specific stamps' of past geomagnetic field
configurations. It is well-known that life on Earth and all
geological-environmental processes occur in the changing
geomagnetic field (the Earth's magnetic field intensity is now
decreasing). Geological-geophysical records indicate that hundreds
and hundreds of Earth's magnetic field reversals have occurred.
Paleomagnetic research has revealed information about ancient (from
hundreds to billions years ago) magnetic field changes, which
reflects definite geological, archaeological, cosmological and
environmental events of that time. Some geodynamic and tectonic
information derived from paleomagnetic field analysis cannot be
obtained by any other geophysical or geological methods. This book
reveals the current understanding of leading scientists studying
paleomagnetic on new approaches and results in different regions of
the world. Three main issues are presented in the book: a
comparison of the Earth's geomagnetic field and the Earth's biota
evolution processes over the last 2.5 billion years (Chapter 1);
combined paleomagnetic mapping examples of some areas of the
Eastern Mediterranean (Chapter 2); various aspects of
archaeomagnetic artifact examination, including advanced
mathematical approach applications (Chapters 3 and 4); and
utilisation of geomagnetic data from the past for historical
reconstruction of China and Mesoamerica (Chapter 5). The five
chapters present results of investigations of scientists from
different scientific schools and demonstrate the application of
various methods and approaches to analyse ancient and comparatively
recent geomagnetic fields. Undoubtedly, these results are
interesting both from theoretical and practical points of view.
This book is intended for students of corresponding specialties,
geologists, geophysicists, archaeologists and environmental
scientists. This book can also be of interest to the general public
interested in paleomagnetism, archaeology, geology and geophysics.
