Fundamental Rock Magnetism
Fundamental Rock Magnetism
Session ID#: 161642
Session Description:
The study of fundamental rock magnetism underpins all research that utilizes the magnetism of rocks, sediments, soils, archaeological artifacts, extraterrestrial materials and anthropogenic products to understand a broad range of subjects, such as the evolution of the geomagnetic field, tectonic reconstructions, environmental and climate change, planetary formation and geology, geobiology, and atmospheric pollution. Factors such as magnetic mineral composition, grain size and domain state influence a material’s magnetic properties and remanence acquisition and can reflect external processes that can modify a material and its encrypted remanence through time. In this session we cover research advances on the magnetic properties of natural materials, minerals, and particle assemblages; their ability to acquire and retain a remanence; and how natural and laboratory-based processes can modify a material’s magnetic properties or remanence. Contributions are invited from all areas of mineral and rock magnetism, including new theoretical, numerical, experimental, and analytical approaches, as well as fundamental and applied studies of magnetic minerals, grain size-dependent magnetic properties, magnetic anisotropy, magnetic characterization of mineral/grain size mixtures, and quantitative models of the behavior of natural and synthetic magnetic systems.
