American Astronomical Society Website - The Paleomagnetic Record on Mars: Implications for the Existence of a Primordial Ocean J.T. Eckberg (Montana State University) Recent data acquired by the Mars Global Surveyor(MGS) magnetic field experiment/electron reflectometer(MAG/ER) has led to detailed maps of the paleomagnetic signature of Mars. These recent plots show a strong correlation between significant magnetic dipole moments and the southern highlands in addition to a lack of signature associated with the lowlands north of the dichotomy boundary. This lack of signature is suggestive of a mechanism that removed the magnetic structure in this region sometime after the cessation of the Martian dynamo in the early Noachian. This talk will discuss this dissipative mechanism, link it to the existence of a primordial ocean, and present results of mathematical modeling and computer simulation

COREMAGNETICS.com Directional data from cores must be referred to geographic North before they can be used in reservoir models. Few cores are oriented during drilling, but fortunately most can be re-oriented subsequently by the paleomagnetic method. This uses the remanent magnetism of the rock to define North. The horizontal component, JH, of the mean paleomagnetic vector, JT,in a run of core defines the direction of North within that run. Directional properties of the core (such as Fracture plane orientations ) are returned to their in-situ orientations by effectively turning the core about its axis until JH points to gegraphic North.

Paleomagnetic dating of weathered regolith at Cobar, NSW B. Pillans, M. Smith and K. McQueen The success of geochemical exploration in areas of thick regolith depends on knowledge of the nature, and history and timing of geochemical dispersion in complex weathered materials. Paleomagnetic dating of weathered regolith at four sites near Cobar, western NSW, has helped establish a framework for the weathering history of this region. Oriented samples of oxidised saprolite from each site were subjected to stepwise thermal demagnetisation in the laboratory, and remanences were measured on an ScT 2-axis cryogenic magnetometer.

A catalog of earth science data produced by the USGS. Site contains systematic descriptions of the data; to get the data, follow links in the descriptions. Allows text search, browse by geographic location, and browse by publication series. Sediment Magnetic and Paleomagnetic Data from Buck Lake, Oregon ....Abstract: Sediment magnetic and paleomagnetic studies were conducted on a core from Buck Lake, Klamath County, Oregon, that was collected as part of an investigation into the Quaternary climate history of the western United States. This report documents the methods used to obtain paleomagnetic directions, magnetic properties, and ancillary data, and presents these data in tabular form.

7. Welcome to SIO Paleomagnetic Laboratory
SIO, UCSD, Lisa Tauxe, Jeff Gee, Scripps, Paleomagnetic, Laboratory, paleomagnetism, Lisa Tauxe, Jeff Gee, Scripps Institution of Oceanography - About our laboratory - Paleomagnetism is the study of the magnetic properties of rocks. Paleomagnetists are therefore united more by a collection of instruments than by any coherent research objective. The broad and interdisciplinary nature of paleomagnetism is one of its great strengths. Over the last century, paleomagnetic research has focussed on four main branches: fundamental tool development, geomagnetic applications, geological applications and environmental applications. The main function of the Scripps Paleomagnetic Laboratory is to analyze the magnetic properties of rocks. This is done with the purpose of deciphering the ancient geomagnetic field, and to aid in geological research. For more information see these:.
