An Integrated Geomagnetic and Petrologic Study of the Dufek Complex
Entry ID:
NSF-ANT05-37609
Summary
Abstract:
This project studies remnant magnetization in igneous rocks from the Dufek igneous complex, Antarctica. Its primary goal is to understand variations in the Earth's magnetic field during the Mesozoic Dipole Low (MDL), a period when the Earth's magnetic field underwent dramatic weakening and rapid reversals.
