Environmental magnetism involves the application of rock and mineral magnetic techniques
to situations in which the transport, deposition, or transformation of magnetic grains is …

Living magnetotactic bacteria from freshwater environments show, under natural and
laboratory conditions, a great variety of morphological appearances. Their magnetosomes …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the magnetic stratigraphy in
paleoceanography. Magnetic stratigraphy rests on the idea that the recorded magnetization …

Interdisciplinary applications of paleomagnetism have in general been restricted to the
construction of chronostratigraphic time frames based on correlation with the …

The sediments of Lake Chiemsee, located in the Alpine foreland in Southern Germany, host
a variety of magnetotactic bacteria (MTB), which contain intracellular crystals of magnetite …

Palaeomagnetic observations are being used in increasingly sophisticated geological and
geophysical interpretations. It is therefore important to test the theories behind …

Many sedimentary carbonate rocks carry stable magnetizations that can be shown to reside
in magnetite. When such magnetizations are observed, it is often argued or demonstrated …

The resolution and reliability of magnetostratigraphy and reconstructed time series of
geomagnetic field behaviour depend critically on where remanence is acquired and fixed in …

Magnetic mineral assemblages in diagenetic environments are governed by microbial and
inorganic/chemical processes. Empirical evidence and thermodynamic modelling of …

Magnetic properties of pelagic marine sediments that record the Middle Eocene Climatic
Optimum (MECO) at~ 40 Ma provide information about major environmental changes. The …
