The distinction between geomagnetic excursions and reversals [PDF]
SUMMARY Two recent studies of the geomagnetic ¢eld in the last 1 Myr have found 14 excursions, large changes in direction lasting 5^10 kyr each, six of which are established as global phenomena by correlation between diierent sites. The older picture of the geomagnetic ¢eld enjoying long periods of stable polarity may not therefore be correct; instead,

Simulations of a time-varying non-dipole field during geomagnetic reversals and excursions
Abstract Following Brown et al (2007) reversals and excursions have been simulated by decreasing the axial dipole field to zero while leaving up a time-varying non-dipolar field similar to the CAL7K model [Korte, M., Constable, C.G., 2005. Continuous geomagnetic models for the past 7 millennia II: CALS7K. Geochem. Geophys. Geosyst.

An activity index for geomagnetic paleosecular variation, excursions, and reversals [PDF]
AbstractMagnetic indices provide quantitative measures of space weather phenomena that are widely used by researchers in geomagnetism. We introduce an index focused on the internally generated field that can be used to evaluate long term variations or climatology of modern and paleomagnetic secular variation, including geomagnetic excursions, polarity ...

Geomagnetic field intensity, excursions, reversals and the 41,000-yr obliquity signal
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2006Abstract The possibility that precession provides power to the geodynamo has been tested by comparing variations in field intensity and the occurrence of excursions and reversals with the obliquity signal. The strongest minima in the paleomagnetic intensity records for the past 800,000 yr correlate with obliquity minima.

Geomagnetic reversals and excursions: Their paleomagnetic record and implications for the geodynamo
Reviews of Geophysics, 1983Since the earliest reports of paleomagnetic evidence in support of the existence of geomagnetic field reversals, much attention has been focused on understanding the relevant core mechanism. Given the far‐reaching implications such an understanding would have on the whole of geomagnetism, past investigations of this phenomenon have involved ...

Weather at the core: defining and categorizing geomagnetic excursions and reversals [PDF]
SUMMARY Paleomagnetic records provide us with information about the extreme geomagnetic events known as excursions and reversals, but the sparsity of available data limits detailed knowledge of the process and timing. To date there are no agreed on criteria for categorizing such events in terms of severity or longevity.
