The paper reviews attempts to estimate the effects of shock on the magnetic characteristics of lunar samples and to determine implications of these effects for an understanding of lunar magnetism and regolith processes. Experiments on mare and highland soils conducted at shock pressures of up to 50 kbar are examined which investigated modifications of soil magnetic characteristics, the acquisition of shock remanence, and stability against alternating-field, thermal, and shock demagnetization. It is shown that shock increases the saturation remanence and remanent coercivity of both highland and mare soils, that mare soil acquires shock remanence more efficiently than highland soil at pressures below 30 kbar, and that breccia formation can occur at relatively low shock pressures. Attempts to calibrate natural remanent magnetism in terms of ancient lunar fields are also discussed.
