Rock Magnetic Cyclostratigraphy / Analytical Methods in Earth and Environmental Science (ePub)

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 history. This book provides an overview of concepts
underlying these two techniques, recipes for the time series
analysis of cyclostratigraphy, and case studies to illustrate the
variety and breadth of problems addressed by rock magnetic
cyclostratigraphy.

New Analytical Methods in Earth and Environmental
Science

Because of the plethora of analytical techniques now available, and
the acceleration of technological advance, many earth scientists
find it difficult to know where to turn for reliable information on
the latest tools at their disposal, and may lack the expertise to
assess the relative strengths or limitations of a particular
technique. This new series will address these difficulties by
providing accessible introductions to important new techniques, lab
and field protocols, suggestions for data handling and
interpretation, and useful case studies. The series represents an
invaluable and trusted source of information for researchers,
advanced students and applied earth scientists wishing to
familiarise themselves with emerging techniques in their
field.

All titles in this series are available in a variety of
full-colour, searchable e-book formats.
