A window into the science of polar exploration and magnetic study from a pivotal era.
This book presents the field methods, instruments, and data from nineteenth-century Arctic surveys, revealing how scientists measured magnetic declination, inclination, and the Earth's magnetism in remote camps and on rugged coasts.
The volume frames the practical work of observation, noting how equipment was set up, how readings were recorded, and how interpretations were made in challenging environments. It compiles the procedures, calculations, and results that helped illuminate the magnetic landscape at high latitudes, while situating them in the broader history of exploration and science.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive record of the magnetic observations made by Dr. Kane and his team during their second expedition to the Arctic. The observations, encompassing declination, inclination, and intensity, were conducted under challenging conditions and provide valuable insights into the Earth's magnetic field at Van Rensselaer Harbor. The author, a renowned expert in magnetism, meticulously analyzes the data, revealing patterns and variations in the Earth's magnetic force. The book's findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the Earth's magnetic field, making it a significant resource for geophysicists and researchers in the field.
