Paleomagnetic records are the remnant magnetisation preserved in rocks, sediments and speleothems that faithfully archive the orientation and intensity of the Earth’s magnetic field through geological ...

Earth's magnetic field acts as a vital shield against radiation arriving from space, but it is not constant. A new international study has examined how a reduction of the magnetic field similar to the ...

Drilling a 270,000-year old core from a Tasmanian lake has provided the first Australian record of a major global event where the Earth's magnetic field 'switched '- and the opportunity to establish a ...

About 41,000 years ago, something remarkable happened: Earth’s magnetic field flipped and, for a temporary period, magnetic north was south and magnetic south was north. Palaeomagnetists refer to this ...

New models of how the geomagnetic field that shields the Earth's atmosphere from cosmic rays has changed over tens of thousands of years can help us understand how the climate has changed over a ...

Something massive is happening beneath your feet right now, and most people have absolutely no idea. Earth's magnetic field, the invisible force that protects all life on this planet and guides ...

The Earth’s magnetic field is generated by convective motions in the liquid outer core, a process known as the geodynamo. Over geological time, this field has undergone continual change in intensity ...

Earth’s magnetic field acts as a vital shield against radiation arriving from space, but it is not constant. A new international study has examined how a reduction of the magnetic field similar to the ...

A small sub-alpine lake in western Tasmania has helped establish that 41,000 years ago Australia experienced the Laschamp geomagnetic excursion and that Tasmanian, Aboriginals, would've seen it.
