Unraveling Magnetic Anomalies: A study of Earth´s Field Asymmetries during the Laschamps Excursion

Extreme geomagnetic variations such as excursions where the magnetic poles shift, and return are not fully understood. 10Be, used as a proxy for the magnetic field studies has been proposed as a compliment to paleomagnetic models, allowing adjustments. LSMOD.2 is a sediment and volcanic based magnet...
