Zusammenfassung |
Neumayer was a prominent figure in the development of geophysics in the
19th century from a scientific as well as from an organisational point
of view. In this paper we review and highlight his activities and efforts in
geomagnetic research within five different aspects of geomagnetism: regional
geomagnetic surveys, geomagnetic work in German naval observatories,
geomagnetic investigations during the First Polar Year 1882/83,
modifications of the Gaussian theory, and geomagnetic charts. In each field
Neumayer was a researcher, a thinker, and a stimulating coordinator. |
