| Session Description | Rock magnetic methods have a high potential in detecting and monitoring signals from past and recent environments. Integrated paleomagnetic and magnetic fabric studies, together with structural geology and petrology, are indeed very efficient tools in increasing our knowledge about sedimentological, tectonic or volcanic processes on various scales. Monitoring the changes in the geomagnetic field (i.e. reversals and paleointensity) while searching for links with the evolution of Earth’s interior helps understand the kinematics of plates, dynamics of the core and mantle, long-term climate changes, true polar wander. This session is intended to give an opportunity to present innovative studies that make use of paleo-, rock and environmental magnetic data in relation to geological, geomagnetic, and environmental processes. Especially welcome are contributions combining several rock magnetic methods, showing novel approaches in data evaluation. We also solicit contributions from both experimental and theoretical aspects of paleomagnetic reconstructions, acquisition of petrofabrics or characteristic remanence and its remagnetisation, reversal records, paleointensity, and environmental magnetic methods. |
