Greigite (Fe3S4) is an authigenic ferrimagnetic mineral that grows as a precursor to pyrite
during early diagenetic sedimentary sulfate reduction. It can also grow at any time when …

More than 400 years ago William Gilbert said," The Earth itself is a great magnet." Today, we
know that it is also a great magnetic tape recorder. This work is a comprehensive, up-to-date …

Continental shelves serve as a bridge between the continent and ocean and sediments in
this region are sensitive to land-sea interaction, sea-level variation and local subsidence. In …

A data set of room temperature magnetic parameters for several iron oxides and sulphides
was compiled from the available literature. The aim was to propose the most effective …

For 40 years magnetic anisotropy has provided successful geological interpretations of
magnetic ellipsoid orientations; in contrast the interpretation of anisotropy magnitudes is far …

In many anoxic sedimentary environments, the onset of sulfate reduction, and pyritization of
detrital iron-bearing minerals, leads to a precipitous decline in magnetic mineral …

Integrated palaeoecological studies of two fiord sediment sequences in the province of
Blekinge, SE Sweden, covering the time span 11,000–5000calBP, reveal the timing and the …

This chapter provides an introduction to the application of mineral magnetic methods to
studies of lake-sediments. It is not detailed; but instead contains a substantial number of …

The geomagnetic field acts both as an umbrella, shielding us from cosmic radiation and as a
window, offering one of the few glimpses of the inner workings of the Earth. Ancient records …

Detailed rock magnetic and electron microscope analyses indicate that the magnetic
signature of Neogene marine sediments from the east coast of New Zealand is dominated …
