Experimental geomagnetism deals with experimental observations and their potential applications of palaeomagnetic and environmental magnetic investigations. Palaeomagnetism is a specialized study, which has provided positive evidence of continental drift and development of the hypothesis of plate tectonics. The other major contributions relate to understanding of the generation of EMF, palaeointensity, relative movements of continental blocks, concept of tectonostratigraphic terrains and magnetostratigraphy as a dating tool. All these varied research activities require the development and use of extremely sensitive instruments.
