Welcome to the AGU Geomagnetism and Paleomagnetism Section Home Page!
The Geomagnetism and Paleomagnetism (GP) Section of AGU embraces several fields of research focussed on understanding the properties of the present geomagnetic field and its behavior in the historical and geological past. Areas of interest include the short-term changes in the magnetic field, crustal magnetic anomalies, the physics and chemistry of magnetic rocks/minerals, paleomagnetism as applied to tectonic and structural problems, magnetic anisotropy in rock fabric studies, environmental magnetism and more.
On these pages, you can find out about the research in the GP section. In addition, the links to the left contain information on a range of geomagnetic/paleomagnetic resources including links to data resources, software and paleomagnetic laboratories, as well as educational resources for teachers and students.
