Over 40,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field underwent a full reversal, a rare phenomenon in which the North and South ...

Scientists are closely monitoring changes in Earth’s magnetic field as signs of a potential geomagnetic reversal continue to ...

The Earth’s magnetic field plays a big role in protecting people from hazardous radiation and geomagnetic activity that could affect satellite communication and the operation of power grids. And it ...

The emergence of a mysterious area in the South Atlantic where the geomagnetic field strength is decreasing rapidly, has led to speculation that Earth is heading towards a magnetic polarity reversal.

The geomagnetic field, generated by the convecting motions of Earth’s liquid outer core, is a fundamental facet of our planet’s evolution. Its long‐term behaviour is recorded in rocks through the ...

A study on past reversals of Earth’s magnetic field has found that a rapid shift occurred within two centuries — such an event in future would increase our exposure to the Sun’s radiation that may ...

A geomagnetic storm occurs when high-energy plasma and magnetic fields ejected from the sun interact with Earth's magnetic ...

The Earth’s magnetic field, generated 3,000km below our feet in the liquid iron core, is crucially important to life on our planet. It extends out into space, wrapping us in an electromagnetic blanket ...

Dr Sanja Panovska, project leader in Section 2.3 “Geomagnetism” at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant for her “EXCURSION” project. The ...
