Tekst achterflap

This book presents the Geophysical Centre of Dourbes after more than 7 decades of existence, viewed through the lens of visual artist Bram Van Stappen. His interest in radiation and visualising physical phenomena brought him to the Geophysical Centre of the RMI in Dourbes. An added inspiration to his work was the coexistence of the numerous scientific instruments continuously registering events occurring at distant locations (on the Sun, within interplanetary space and the magnetosphere) or at the core of the Earth and the intact nature within the domain. The opportunity presented itself naturally to dedicate this book to the 70th anniversary of the centre and to include a concise history.

Table of contents:

1.0 The Artistic Inspiration
1.1 Table of Contents
2.0 Images
2.1 Index
3.0 History of Scientific Activities
3.1 Prelude
3.2 Cosmic Rays
