Anomalous high coercivity natural remanent magnetization acquired by maghemite in Deep-sea Sediments off Wilkes Land, East Antarctica
The magnetic properties and minerals of a deep-sea sediment core obtained from off Wilkes Land have been investigated in order to obtain paleomagnetic, rock-magnetic and paleoenvironmental data for Antarctic region. The core used in this study was collected from a continental rise site 3060m deep at...

The magnetic properties and minerals of a deep-sea sediment core obtained from off Wilkes Land have been investigated in order to obtain paleomagnetic, rock-magnetic and paleoenvironmental data for Antarctic region.
