    Palaeomagnetic field intensity variations suggest Mesoproterozoic inner-core nucleation

    Analysis of a database of Precambrian palaeomagnetic intensity measurements reveals a clear transition in the Earth’s magnetic field that is probably the signature of the inner core first forming, suggesting a...

    Rapid regional perturbations to the recent global geomagnetic decay revealed by a new Hawaiian record

    The dominant dipolar component of the Earth’s magnetic field has been steadily weakening for at least the last 170 years. Prior to these direct measurements, archaeomagnetic records show short periods of signi...

    Erratum: Possible links between long-term geomagnetic variations and whole-mantle convection processes

    Published online: 29 July 2012 | http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ngeo1521 In the print version of this Review article, some labelling in Figs 3, 4a and 5c is incorrect: in Fig. 3 the label 'Laurrassia and Gondwana c...

    Possible links between long-term geomagnetic variations and whole-mantle convection processes

    The geomagnetic field varies on a wide range of timescales. A review of emerging research suggests that field variations on the order of tens of millions of years may be linked to changes in heat flow across t...
