This book offers a collection of papers presented in the International Conference on Geomagnetism, Paleomagnetism and Rock Magnetism held in Kazan (Russia) in October 2017. Papers in this book are dedicated to the study of the geomagnetic field through most of the Earth's history as well as planetary and meteorite magnetism, and magnetic signatures of terrestrial impact craters. Recent studies, summaries, and reviews include: 1 - theory of the geomagnetic field, its generation and variations; 2 - experimental data on the geomagnetic field changes; 3 studies of rock magnetism; 4 paleotectonic reconstructions and paleoceanography; 5 magnetostratigraphy; 6 extraterrestrial magnetism. Summary reports and reviews will be presented by the world's leading experts in the field of geomagnetic studies. Such workshops held by Academic Council have become traditional. They are always attended by leading professionals from Russia, CIS and non-CIS countries. In addition to discussion sessions focused on recent studies and findings, lectures on some basic concepts of geomagnetism will be delivered by leading Russian and foreign scientists

Enhances the understanding of modern plate tectonics through the study of rocks of different ages from different parts of the Earth Includes practical training and case study showing how to use magnetic parameters to identify natural objects and evaluate a variety of natural processes Summarizes the latest data on bio-magnetic fields, including magnetic field of the human brain and heart
