Processing of shipborne magnetometer data and revision of the timing and geometry of the Mesozoic break-up of Gondwana = Auswertung schiffsfester Magnetometerdaten und die Neubestimmung des Zeitpunktes und der Geometrie des Mesozoischen Aufbruchs von Gondwana

Seafloor spreading anomalies in the world's ocean basins yieldcrucial information about the paleogeographic configuration of thecontinents and the development of ocean basins. Standard methodsfor measuring these variations are to apply ship towedmagnetometer systems or aircrafts. For the polar...
