Description
Summary:The main topic of this thesis focuses on geomagnetic excursions. The exact definition of an excursion is problematic and over time a number of conventions have been used. The traditional excursion is defined by VGPs that travel more than 40° to 45° away from the average magnetic north pole for that time period. A more recent and far more lax definition of an excursion has been proposed labeling any magnetic field behavior other than “normal” field behavior as an excursion.
