Recent methodological and instrumental advances in paleomagnetic and magnetic fabric techniques are continuously increasing their already high potential in solving research questions in various Earth science disciplines. Integrated paleomagnetic and magnetic fabric studies, together with structural geology and petrology, are very efficient tools in increasing our knowledge about sedimentological, tectonic and volcanic processes, both on regional and global scales. Moreover, paleomagnetism and rock magnetism are fundamental tools for assigning both absolute and relative time to geological sequences.
This session is intended to give an opportunity to present innovative theoretical or methodological paleomagnetic, magnetostratigraphic, and magnetic fabric works and their direct applications in different geological settings. Especially welcome are contributions (1) combining paleomagnetic and magnetic fabric data retrieved by several means of fabric analysis (magnetic and non-magnetic), or (2) novel approaches in data evaluation, contributions from both (3) experimental and theoretical aspects of paleomagnetic reconstructions, (4) remagnetization processes and (5) acquisition of petrofabrics. We also invite contributions that use (6) magnetic methods to improve the GPTS, (7) magnetostratigraphy to date and correlate geological sequences, (8) rock magnetism to assign high-resolution chronostratigraphy to geological sequences, and (9) integrated magnetic chronostratigraphy with isotopic dating, bio-, cyclo- and chemostratigraphic records.
