This book on Magnetostratigraphy of the sedimentary sequences of Himalayan foot-hills presents various aspects of the Earth's magnetic field. Palaeomagnetism has brought many changes in the development and understanding of the Earth Sciences in last 40 years. This has led finding of a new type of stratigraphy based on the aperiodic reversal of polarity of the geomagnetic field, which is known as Magnetostratigraphy. Magnetic Polarity Stratigraphy is the study of organizing the sedimentary strata according to the magnetic polarities acquired during the process of sediment accumulation. In...
