Rock Magnetic Cyclostratigraphy, 1st Edition, 9781118561287
Hardcover
Rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy merges environmental magnetism, in which rock magnetic measurements are used to detect past environmental change, and cyclostratigraphy, in which cyclic variations of lithology or a sedimentary rock s physical properties are related to astronomically-forced paleoclimate change.

Summary

Rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy merges environmental magnetism, in which rock magnetic measurements are used to detect past environmental change, and cyclostratigraphy, in which cyclic variations of lithology or a sedimentary rock’s physical properties are related to astronomically-forced paleoclimate change. In addition to providing paleoclimate data, cyclostratigraphy can establish high-resolution chronostratigraphy for a sequence of sedimentary rocks, even at distant times in Earth’s hi…

Critics Review

“In my opinion, Ken and Linda have done an outstanding job of assembling a very useful monograph on rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy. It will be of considerable interest to a range of workers. Notably, It is a very hands-on, user friendly compilation that will be readily understood and appreciated by researchers at all levels, including first year MS students or junior/senior undergraduate students whose advisor is keen on them conducting a rock magnetic cyclostratigraphic investigation as part or all of their thesis or an undergraduate research thesis!” (Professor John Geissman, University of Texas at Dallas)

About The Author

Kenneth P. Kodama

Kenneth P. Kodama is Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Lehigh University, USA. He has taught Earth sciences and conducted paleomagnetic and rock magnetic research with his students at Lehigh for the past 36 years. In his time away from paleomagnetism he enjoys playing music. Linda A. Hinnov is a research Professor at Johns Hopkins University, USA specializing in the astronomical forcing of Earth’s paleoclimate system. She has longstanding interests in cyclostratigraphy, and its implications for the evolution of Earth’s geophysical and astronomical parameters and the geologic time scale.
