Ordovician paleomagnetism of eastern Yunnan, China

Three magnetic components have been isolated in Ordovician formations of the Yangtze Paraplatform (South China Block). Two of these (Daqing A and Hongshiya B components) yield paleopoles that conform to the Carboniferous to Triassic segment of the apparent polar w•der path for South China, and are therefore interpreted as remagnetizations. The third component (declination/inclination = 30!ø/+66...

Grand challenges in geomagnetism and paleomagnetism

Geomagnetism and paleomagnetism is a broad sub-discipline of the Earth Sciences. I present the Grand Challenges from the perspective of a paleomagnetist and rock magnetist, hence I feel more comfortable with the paleomagnetic side of this short article than the geomagnetic side. Nevertheless, exciting things are happening in geomagnetism and the future is bright for both paleomagnetists and geo...
