Summary:

This volume provides a synopsis of current research on volcanic processes, as gained through the use of palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic techniques, including: thermoremanent magnetization; anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility and anisotropy of remanence; and rock-magnetic characteristics, which allow correlation of volcanic deposits, but also provide means to date volcanic deposits and to understand better their cooling history.
