Robustness of characteristics of the Matuyama-Brunhes geomagnetic field reversal found in global models

Frontiers in Earth Science
Paleomagnetic data enables the global reconstruction of the geomagnetic field, allowing the investigation of significant events like polarity reversals and excursions.

Stress field rotation or block rotation: An example from the Lake Mead fault system [PDF]

The Coulomb criterion, as applied by Anderson (1951), has been widely used as the basis for inferring paleostresses from in situ fault slip data, assuming that faults are optimally oriented relative to the tectonic stress direction.

Transport properties for liquid silicon-oxygen-iron mixtures at Earth's core conditions [PDF]

, 2012
We report on the thermal and electrical conductivities of two liquid silicon-oxygen-iron mixtures (Fe$_{0.82}$Si$_{0.10}$O$_{0.08}$ and Fe$_{0.79}$Si$_{0.08}$O$_{0.13}$), representative of the composition of the Earth's outer core at the relevant ...

Testing the Accuracy of Paleointensity Estimates Using Experimental Pottery Assemblages

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Paleointensity estimates from archaeological pottery represent a key source of information on Holocene variations in geomagnetic field intensity. Yet, pottery rarely exhibits ideal single‐domain behavior that fully satisfies the theoretical assumptions underlying absolute paleointensity methods.

Quickly erupted volcanic sections of the Steens Basalt, Columbia River Basalt Group: Secular variation, tectonic rotation, and the Steens Mountain reversal

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2008
The Steens Basalt, now considered part of the Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG), contains the earliest eruptions of this magmatic episode. Lava flows of the Steens Basalt cover about 50,000 km2 of the Oregon Plateau in sections up to 1000 m thick.

Silurian-Permian palaeocontinental reconstructions and circum-Atlantic tectonics [PDF]

, 1988
On the basis of the palaeomagnetic record, supplemented by constraints provided by faunal and tectonic information, reconstructions involving Laurentia, Baltica, Gondwana and numerous continent-like fragments and terranes within the circum-Atlantic ...

Magnetic Field Induced by Convective Flow in Ganymede's Subsurface Ocean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract It has been suggested that the convective flows in Ganymede's subsurface ocean can generate a magnetic field that is strong enough to be measured by future space missions. Here, we investigate this hypothesis by developing a numerical model of Ganymede's magnetic field induced by the motion of salt water in its interior.

Slow True Polar Wander Around Varying Equatorial Axes Since 320 Ma

AGU Advances
True polar wander (TPW), the rotation of the solid Earth relative to the spin axis, is driven by changes in the Earth's moment of inertia induced by mantle convection and may have influenced past climate and life. Long‐term TPW is typically inferred from

Rotation in the Southeastern Caribbean Arc (Grenadines) Accommodated by Back‐Arc Basin Inversion

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Caribbean tectonic plate is typically modeled as a rigid plate moving along discrete plate boundaries. Isolated exposures on islands have long shown that above the Lesser Antilles subduction zone, the plate experienced contractional, strike‐slip, and extensional deformation, but the importance of this deformation remained long unknown ...

Magnetostratigraphy of the Lower Triassic beds from Chaohu(China) and its implications for the Induan–Olenekian stage boundary. [PDF]

, 2009
A magnetostratigraphic study was performed on the lower 44 m of the West Pingdingshan section near Chaohu city, (Anhui province, China) in order to provide a magnetic polarity scale for the early Triassic.
