Investigation of the interplanetary dust cloud is characterized by contributions from quite different methods and fields, such as research on zodiacal light, meteors, micrometeoroids, asteroids, and comets. Since the earth's environment and interplanetary space became accessible to space vehicles these interrelations are clearly evident and extremely useful. Space measurements by micrometeoroid detectors, for example, provide individual and eventually detailed information on impact events, which however are limited in number and therefore restricted in statistical significance. On the other hand, zodiacal light measurements involve scattered light from many particles and therefore provide global information about the average values of physical properties ... Read more

Reviews for Properties and Interactions of Interplanetary Dust: Proceedings of the 85th Colloquium of the International Astronomical Union, Marseille, France, July 9-12, 1984
`...well produced and clearly printed. It ends with a list of good resolutions for future work which, if implemented successfully, will greatly advance our knowledge of this far-from-peripheral area of astronomy and link it more closely to studies of the interstallar medium, the formation of stars and, especially in the post-Giotto era, of comets.' ...
