Paleomagnetism

We study the ancient magnetization recorded in rocks from around the globe in an effort to establish ancient paleogeography and assess the tempo of plate tectonics.

The image is a blue and white spiral galaxy.

Geomagnetism

Studies focused on the generation, intensity and history of the Geomagnetic field.

Rock & Environmental Magnetism

A description of an effort and why it matters

Stratigraphy & Geochronology

We use the magnetostratigraphic record preserved in rocks and sediments to understand geochronology over a range of timescales
