Earth's Ediacaran Period, which lasted from about 630 to 540 million years ago, has long been one of the most confusing intervals for scientists ...

Hundreds of millions of years ago, Earth’s magnetic field behaved in a way that has long baffled scientists, showing wild and ...

A new study from Harvard geoscientists reports the oldest direct evidence yet of plate motion, dating to 3.5 billion years ago. In a study published March 19 in Science, the researchers found that ...

The study of the earth's changing magnetic field at geological and societal timescales, especially through the analysis of remanent magnetism in rocks and human artifacts. The main function of the ...

ABSTRACT: That humankind has grappled with the origins of its existence since early times is evident in the Bronze Age creation story found in the Old Testament. Today, our understanding of the ...

Earth’s Ediacaran Period, roughly 630 to 540 million years ago, has always been something of a magnetic minefield for scientists. During earlier and later time periods, tectonic plates kept a steady ...

Geologists use the discipline of paleomagnetism to measure the Earth’s magnetic field as it existed millions of years ago. When molten rock cools, magnetic minerals align with the planet’s magnetic ...

MILWAUKEE — Paleomagnetism researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee pulled more than a dozen volcanic rocks from the Pacific Ocean floor to learn more about what they tell us about the ...

The current understanding of the Earth’s deep interior is limited to recent time where we have direct observations from geophysical data. Fortunately, one source exists that records ancient signals ...

My research interests are field intensive and focus on paleomagnetics and magnetostratigraphy. My current projects are using magnetostratigraphy to analyze the late Miocene-early Pliocene Bouse ...
