Beyond the Holocene Geomagnetic field resolution
For decades the Holocene has been considered a flat and “boring” epoch from the standpoint of paleomagnetism, mainly due to insufficient resolution of the available paleomagnetic data. However, recent archaeomagnetic data have revealed that the Holocene geomagnetic field is anything but stable – presenting puzzling intervals of extreme decadal-scale fluctuations and unexpected departures from a simple dipolar field structure. This new information introduced an entirely new paradigm to the study of the geomagnetic field and to a wide range of research areas relying on paleomagnetic data, such as geochronology, climate research, and geodynamo exploration. This proposal aims at breaking the…
