Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Magnetic properties are extremely useful to help understand the genesis and subsequent history of rocks. A number of magnetic properties (Curie temperature, hysteresis parameters, etc.) facilitate the unique identification of each magnetic mineral. These same properties are sensitive to composition, oxidation state, pressure, size and shape of the magnetic mineral assemblage. Knowledge of these parameters is crucial when interpreting complex systems typically encountered in the Earth and planetary sciences. Paleomagnetism , making use of magnetic properties of rocks, is the best method to make quantitative paleogeographic reconstructions of the Earth during the geological past. Moreover, this technique can help unravel the kinematics of deformation within orogenic belts, which is crucial to understand how mountains form and to understand the underlying processes governing plate tectonic processes on Earth. Within this lecture we will get an overview about basics of rock magnetism and its applications in paleomagnetism, magnetostratigraphy, archeomagnetism.
