Paleomagnetism of Sedimentary Rocks

Ken Kodama is Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Lehigh University. He has taught Earth sciences and conducted paleomagnetic and rock magnetic research with his students at Lehigh for the past 34 years. In his time away from paleomagnetism he enjoys playing music.

“The book can be read easily and with great interest, particularly by readers being introduced to the subject. Kodama intelligently summarizes achievements in the field of sedimentary paleomagnetism, where he also plays an important role.”  (Pure Appl. Geophys, 1 January 2015)“This easy-to-read volume is well illustrated, including 27 color plates, and it contains a useful glossary.  Production quality is high.  Summing Up: Highly recommended.  Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners.”  (Choice, 1 May 2013)
