Abstract
A study of the Earth's magnetic field in the vicinity of Parícutin Volcano (see Fig. 1), in the State of Michoacan, Mexico, was made by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey in cooperation with the United States Department of State and the Mexican Government from January to August 1945. (This is one of a number of scientific and cultural projects undertaken abroad by the United States Government under the auspices of the Interdepartmental Committee on Scientific and Cultural Cooperation, Department of State.) The object of this investigation was to ascertain if changes occur in the Earth's magnetic field associated with the development of a volcano. The changes looked for were defined as those of deep‐seated origin and not those caused by the cooling of the surface lava flows [McNish, 1944; see “References” at end of paper].
