Bats use magnetite to detect the earth's magnetic field. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 While the role of magnetic cues for compass orientation has been confirmed in numerous animals, the mechanism of detection is still debated. Two hypotheses have been proposed, one based on a light dependent mechanism, apparently used by birds and another

Searching for Magnetic Monopoles with the Earth's Magnetic Field [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 101801 (2021), 2021 Magnetic monopoles have long been predicted in theory and could exist as a stable object in our universe. As they move around in galaxies, magnetic monopoles could be captured by astrophysical objects like stars and planets. Here, we provide a novel method to search for magnetic monopoles by detecting the monopole moment of the Earth's magnetic field ...

A simple mechanism for the reversals of Earth's magnetic field [PDF]
, 2008 We show that a model, recently used to describe all the dynamical regimes of the magnetic field generated by the dynamo effect in the VKS experiment [1], also provides a simple explanation of the reversals of Earth's magnetic field, despite strong differences between both systems.

Earth's magnetic field is probably not reversing. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2018 Significance Earth’s magnetic field is generated in Earth’s convecting liquid iron outer core and protects Earth’s surface from harmful solar radiation. The field has varied on different timescales throughout geological history, and these variations reflect changes deep within the Earth.

Earth's core variability from magnetic and gravity field observations [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2023 The motions of the liquid within the Earth's outer core lead to magnetic field variations together with mass distribution changes. As the core is not accessible for direct observation, our knowledge of the Earth’s liquid core dynamics only relies on ...

Filamentary field-aligned currents at the polar cap region during northward interplanetary magnetic field derived with the Swarm constellation [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2016 ESA's Swarm constellation mission makes it possible for the first time to determine field-aligned currents (FACs) in the ionosphere uniquely. In particular at high latitudes, the dual-satellite approach can reliably detect some FAC structures which ...

On Earth's habitability over the Sun's main-sequence history: joint influence of space weather and Earth's magnetic field evolution [PDF]
MNRAS, 525, 4008-4025 (2023), 2023 The aim of this study is to analyze the Earth habitability with respect to the direct exposition of the Earth atmosphere to the solar wind along the Suns evolution on the main sequence including the realistic evolution of the space weather conditions and the Earth magnetic field.

Characterization of the South Atlantic Anomaly [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2019 This research intends to characterize the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) by applying the power spectrum analysis approach. The motivation to study the SAA region is due to its nature. A comparison was made between the stations in the SAA region and outside
