Abstract
Abstract. The measurement series of the three geomagnetic observatories Potsdam, Seddin
and Niemegk spans 130 years, starting in 1890. It is one of the longest, almost uninterrupted series of recordings of the Earth's magnetic field. Data users frequently emphasise the high quality of the data and their
significance for geomagnetic base research. Very well known outstanding
geomagnetism scientists, such as Max Eschenhagen, Adolf Schmidt, Julius Bartels,
Gerhard Fanselau and Horst Wiese, directed the observatories during their
existence. This paper describes the history of the Seddin Observatory, which was in operation from 1907 until 1932.
期刊介绍:
The scope of History of Geo- and Space Sciences (HGSS) is to document historical facts and knowledge and to improve awareness of the history of geoscience. The knowledge of the development of geosciences and their experimental methods and theories in the past can improve our current understanding and may stimulate current research. It is encouraging for young scientists to read biographical material of historical figures in their research area. It is important as well to learn that history of science is an integrated part of the ongoing research in their research area. Another important aim of the journal is the association of historical retrospective and current research.
