Geomagnetic Research in the 19th Century (2002)

unapi

The development of geomagnetic research in the 19th century is discussed in detail. Beginning with the Gottingen Magnetic Society (Gauss-Weber), scientific activity developed under von Humboldt's influence and reached a peak during the First International Polar Year (1882-1883). This was a graod international co-operation, for which new instruments were constructed and new aspects of the geomagnetic studies were opened, including solar-terrestrial physicis (sun-aurora-Earth's atmosphere).
