Problems of Geophysics in the Canadian Arctic

Abstract

Contains survey of research during the 19th and 20th centuries in geomagnetism, gravity, and seismology; and an outline of geophysical problems related to the Arctic. These include the position and motion of the Magnetic North Pole, relation of upper atmosphere electric currents to the earth's magnetic field, shape of the earth, degree of isostatic equilibrium in the Arctic, earthquakes in the Arctic Basin, meteorites and meteorite craters.
