Description and Table of Contents

Description

The aim of this course was to contribute to the discussion of some of the problems in the field of the solar-terrestrial relations and to give an up-to-date view of the information available at present. This interdisciplinary subject is new in its scientific approach but old in age and has much to do with the prediction of the conditions of the future life on our planet. The topics discussed included cosmogenic isotopes, the theory of the solar variation and the present knowledge of the heliosphere.
