Global changes in intensity of the Earth's magnetic field during the past 800 kyr
@article{Guyodo1999GlobalCI, title={Global changes in intensity of the Earth's magnetic field during the past 800 kyr}, author={Yohan Guyodo and Jean‐Pierre Valet}, journal={Nature}, year={1999}, volume={399}, pages={249-252} }
Recent advances in palaeomagnetic and dating techniques have led to increasingly precise records of the relative intensity of the Earth's past magnetic field at numerous field sites. The compilation and analysis of these records can provide important constraints on changes in global magnetic field intensity and therefore on the Earth's geodynamo itself. A previous compilation for the past 200 kyr integrated 17 marine records into a composite curve, with the geomagnetic origin of the signal…

Geomagnetic intensity variations over the past 780 kyr obtained from near-seafloor magnetic anomalies
- Geography, Environmental ScienceNature
- 2000
It is shown that near-seafloor magnetic anomalies recorded over the southern East Pacific Rise are well correlated with independent estimates of geomagnetic intensity during the past 780 kyr, and the pattern of absolute palaeointensity of seafloor glass samples from the same area agrees with the well-documented dipole intensity pattern for the past 50 kyr.
Time variations in geomagnetic intensity

After many years spent by paleomagnetists studying the directional behavior of the Earth’s magnetic field at all possible timescales, detailed measurements of field intensity are now needed to…
Geomagnetic dipole strength and reversal rate over the past two million years
- PhysicsNature
- 2005
It is shown that, at least during this period, the time-averaged field was higher during periods without reversals but the amplitude of the short-term oscillations remained the same, and few intervals of very low intensity are expected during periods with a strong average dipole moment, whereas more excursions and reversals areexpected during periods of weak field intensity.
Direction and intensity of Earth's magnetic field at the Permo-Triassic boundary

The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the motion of liquid iron-rich material in the outer core. One of the most drastic manifestations of the dynamics in the outer core are polarity reversals…

More than 20 years ago, on the basis of data from a Pacific sediment core, it was suggested that geomagnetic field intensity may vary with the Earth's orbital obliquity (centred on a period of ∼41…
