Oscillating magnetic field disrupts magnetic orientation in Zebra finches, Taeniopygia guttata [PDF]
Background Zebra finches can be trained to use the geomagnetic field as a directional cue for short distance orientation. The physical mechanisms underlying the primary processes of magnetoreception are, however, largely unknown.

Improved satellite‐derived gravity data support updated interpretations and models of ancient plate boundaries and plate motions affecting Zealandia and West Antarctica. The models combine to confidently resolve hundreds of kilometres of Late Cretaceous–Eocene motion between the Pacific and Lord Howe plates, confirming that plate circuit constructions ...

Abstract The Aurora hydrothermal vent field (AVF) is the first confirmed active vent system on the Arctic Ocean seafloor, located at the western end of the ultraslow spreading Gakkel Ridge. It marks a distinctive endmember among ridge‐axis hydrothermal systems, where volcanic construction and ultramafic influence co‐exist.

On the precursors to the 2011 Tohoku earthquake: crustal movements and electromagnetic signatures
We compare the precursory behaviour of crustal movements with electromagnetic signatures for the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku earthquake. First, we present the Global Positioning System (GPS) data on the co-seismic variations and pre-seismic ...

Post-processing scheme for modelling the lithospheric magnetic field [PDF]
We investigated how the noise in satellite magnetic data affects magnetic lithospheric field models derived from these data in the special case where this noise is correlated along satellite orbit tracks.

Geodynamic Significance of Intraplate Basaltic Magmatism From the Western Mediterranean Region
Abstract Dynamic topography changes as mantle convection evolves, making its past surface expression difficult to reconstruct. Widespread Neogene‐Quaternary intraplate basaltic magmatism across the Western Mediterranean Region allows us to test whether dated basalts preserve the mantle thermal structure responsible for regional dynamic support.

design and development of a vibrating sample magnetometer for high magnetic field measurements of superconductors [PDF]
A Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) has been designed, constructed and developed. The design specification was for a VSM to work in magnetic fields up to 15T, and provide a variable temperature environment for the sample from 4.2K to 130K.

Abstract Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) satellite platforms and quantum‐optical sensing technologies may provide new observation approaches for improving Earth's static gravity field models. This study conceptually assesses their potential contribution through a two‐tier closed‐loop simulation framework.

Lithospheric long-wavelength magnetic anomalies and their geological origins: A review
At the altitude of low-Earth-orbiting satellites, most details of lithospheric magnetic anomalies observed near surface are attenuated, and only slowly decaying long-wavelength magnetic anomalies can be detected.

Flip‐Flop Detachments Require Moderate Strength Contrasts Between Fault Zone and Fault Blocks
Abstract Large‐offset detachment faults frequently occur at slow‐ and ultraslow‐spreading mid‐ocean ridges, especially where magma supply is limited. Observations show that detachments at ultraslow ridges often alternate in polarity (“flip‐flop” regime), but the mechanical controls governing their formation remain poorly understood.
