Variations of the geomagnetic field,the climate and weather

Summary Using palaeomagnetic investigations of sedimentary rocks and particularly lake sediments, changes of the geomagnetic field and geomagnetic poles were determined over a period of the last 40 000 years. The correlations between geomagnetic, climatic and meteorological phenomena were investigated with the object of demonstrating the function of the geomagnetic pole and changes in its positions in forming the climate and weather. A tentative model has been proposed to enable the causes of the generation of glacial and interglacial periods, as well as the causes effecting changes of weather to be explained. The possibilities of man-made meliorations of the climate in certain regions are also discussed.Presented at the XVI Gen.Assembly IUGG, Grenoble 1975.
