In environmental magnetism, rock and mineral magnetic techniques are used to investigate the formation, transportation, deposition, and postdepositional alterations of magnetic minerals under the influences of environmental processes. Since the eighties, environmental magnetism has grown considerably and contributes to research in the geosciences and in branches of physics, chemistry, and biology and environmental science, including research on climate change, pollution, iron biomineralization, and depositional and diagenetic processes in sediments. Studies from all areas of environmental magnetism that have an impact on climatic, stratigraphic or environmental applications, including new theoretical models or measurement techniques, are invited.
