Timescales of the Paleomagnetic Field
Edited by James E. T. Channell, Dennis V. Kent, William Lowrie, Joseph G. Meert
Part of the Geophysical Monograph Series series
Description
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 145. To mark the 70th birthday of Neil D. Opdyke, a Chapman Conference entitled "Timescales ofthe Internal Geomagnetic Field" was held at the University of Florida in Gainesville on March 9-11, 2003.
This AGU Chapman Conference was sponsored by the U.S.
National Science Foundation, University of Florida, Florida Museum of Natural History, and 2G Enterprises.
Forty-one talks and twenty-three posters were presented during the three-day meeting.
This monograph contains twenty-four of those papers, and is a balanced subset ofthe papers presented at the conference.
The monograph is divided into three parts. Part 1 deals with the geocentric axial dipole (GAD) hypothesis, continental reconstruction, and long-term geomagnetic field behavior.
Part 2 comprises papers on magnetic polarity stratigraphy and the acquisition of sedimentary magnetization.
Part 3 deals with secular variation, paleointensity, and short-term geomagnetic field behavior.
These are all topics that have been substantially impacted by Neil's scientific work.
