Please retweet if you want Labour, LibDems and Greens to cooperate at the next election in order to oust the Tories and introduce PR, so we never again have to endure a Tory Government with an eighty seat majority, secured with only 43% of the popular vote.

New paper from @yaelengbers reporting first palaeointensities from island of St Helena within the current South Atlantic Anomaly. Guess what? They are low... dx.doi.org/10.1029/2021JB023…

Congratulations Dr Thallner @DThallner @LivUniGeomag on a brilliant viva and thesis. Have learnt lots about the Ediacaran magnetic field, and the art of punny subtitles 🥳

Our new paper: dynamo constraints on the long term evolution of earth's magnetic field strength doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggab342. It's taken a long time, but I have loved working on this project with @andybiggin, @RKBonoPmag, Julien Aubert, Sam greenwood and Domenico Meduri.

A new era in the history of the palaeomagnetic field is defined in our newly published paper by Louise Hawkins and co-authors: the Mid-Paleozoic dipole low. pnas.org/content/118/34/e201…

Well done to @DThallner for his first lead-authored paper - and a corker too! A huge measurement effort on his part to tease astonishingly low palaeointensity measurements from these Ediacaran dykes. authors.elsevier.com/a/1dDTk…

Great to see this article in Eos on Domenico Meduri's new paper! Dynamo sims are now capable of reproducing palaeomagnetic behaviour to a better degree than previously possible. eos.org/articles/how-geodyna…

How Geodynamo Models Churn the Outer Core - Eos

New simulations of Earth’s outer core have reproduced magnetic fields that—for the first time—match paleomagnetic data collected from rocks.

Earth's core is a billion years old

The solidification of the inner core may have strengthened Earth's magnetic field.
