Magnetic fingerprint of southern Portuguese speleothems and implications for paleo- and environmental magnetism [PDF]
Environmental magnetism of speleothems is still in its early stage of development. Here we report on our investigation of the environmental and paleomagnetic information that has been recorded in speleothems, and what are the factors that control its ...

Micrometeorites: A possible bias on the sedimentary magnetic record
Micrometeorites are strongly magnetic and continuously accumulate at the Earth's surface. On the basis of previously acquired magnetic data, we investigated at which conditions micrometeorites can bias the sedimentary palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic ...

Wavelet-based verification of a relative paleointensity record from the North Pacific
We present a relative paleointensity (RPI) record for the last ~ 1.1 Myr estimated from a sediment core in the central North Pacific, with quality verification using wavelet analysis.

Evidence for detrital remanent magnetization carried by hematite in Devonian red beds from Spitsbergen; palaeomagnetic implications [PDF]
Summary. Palaeomagnetic investigation of the Devonian red bed succession of Central Spitsbergen, the Wood Bay Formation, uncovered stable magnetic directions associated with blocking temperatures above 600°C. Rock magnetic properties are characterized by features commonly found in hematite-bearing red sandstones.

The identification and biogeochemical interpretation of fossil magnetotactic bacteria [PDF]
Magnetotactic bacteria, which most commonly live within the oxic-anoxic transition zone (OATZ) of aquatic environments, produce intracellular crystals of magnetic minerals, specifically magnetite or greigite.

Magnetotaxis and acquisition of detrital remanent magnetization by magnetotactic bacteria in natural sediment: First experimental results and theory [PDF]
The widespread occurrence of magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) in several types of marine and freshwater sediment, and the role of fossil magnetosomes (magnetofossils) as main remanent magnetization carriers therein, has important paleomagnetic and paleoenvironmental implications.

Atmospheric halogen and acid rains during the main phase of Deccan eruptions: magnetic and mineral evidence [PDF]
Environmental changes linked to Deccan volcanism are still poorly known. A major limitation resides in the paucity of direct Deccan volcanism markers and in the geologically short interval where both impact and volcanism occurred, making it hard to ...

Occurrence and Distribution Patterns of Magnetic Particles Within Stalagmite Growth Laminae
The concentrations of magnetic particles in stalagmites depend greatly on the regional hydrologic condition, and thus can act as an important proxy for paleoclimate reconstruction.
