Department of Terrestrial Magnetism Cooperative Expedition records, 1921-1972, 1935-1937, undated.
The collection documents the participation of Department of Terrestrial Magnetism scientists and administrators in geophysical, atmospheric, and meteorological data collection activities during expeditions, often to Arctic or Antarctic regions, undertaken in cooperation with other organizations and individuals, in the 20th century.
From its establishment in 1904, the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism (DTM) has participated in scientific expeditions to remote areas in order to collect geomagnetic, atmospheric, and other geophysical data. Sometimes these expeditions were planned and organized solely by DTM, while others were done as collaborations with other entities such as the National Geographic Society or the Uited States Coast and Geodetic Survey.
