SEGULMÆLINGAR Á ÍSLENSKU
BERGI 1951-1981
Leó Kristjánsson, Raunvísindastofnun
Gefið er yfirlit yfir þær greinar, sem komið hafa út
á prenti og fjalla um mælingar á seguleiginleikum
íslenskra bergsýna í rannsóknastofum. Einnig er
drepið á nokkrar rannsóknir sem gerðar hafa verið
með segulmælingum utan húss, og túlkun þeirra.
Greinilegt er, að niðurstöður bergsegulmælinga
frá Islandi skiptu verulegu máli við þróun skilnings
manna á eiginleikum jarðsegulsviðsins, einkum á
sjötta og sjöunda áratugnum. Einnig hafa bergseg-
ulmælingar verið afar gagnlegar við jarðfræðikort-
lagningu, sérlega á Tertier svæðum landsins.
