Summary

Abstract: The Geomagnetic Intensity Archive (GEOMAG1A50) database contains all published
absolute paleointensity data for the past 50,000 years, including 3702
paleointensity estimates from a collection of 159 separate studies.
GEOMAG1A50 currently includes all absolute Holocene geomagnetic intensity
determinations obtained from natural (e.g. extrusives and intrusives) or
archeological artifacts published in peer-reviewed journals.
