We measured the Isothermal Remanent Magnetization (IRM) and coercivity of remanence (Hcr) of fine magnetic particles included as dust in ice samples from the EPICA ice core (East Antarctica). Atmospheric aerosol contains a significant fraction of highly magnetic iron oxides whose magnetization can b...
