| This collection grew from Chief Astronomer Dr. Otto Klotz's personal collection to include the fields of geodesy, geomagnetism and seismology. |
| He received the Adams Prize in 1928 for an essay on geomagnetism. |
| Solar flares are known to emit low energy cosmic rays which disrupt geomagnetism one or two days later. |
| The subject matter includes geochemistry, geochronology, geomorphology, geodynamics, geomagnetism, mineral resources, mineralogy, paleontology, petrology, planetology, seismology, solid earth geophysics and tectonics. |
| It was while considering the behaviour of the magnetic fields of the Sun and the Earth that be became interested in geomagnetism and palaeomagnetism. |
| They also undertake studies in reflection seismology, geomagnetism, paleomagnetism, geothermics, the Earth's gravitational field and marine sedimentology. |
