TL;DR: It is shown that, at least during this period, the time-averaged field was higher during periods without reversals but the amplitude of the short-term oscillations remained the same, and few intervals of very low intensity are expected during periods with a strong average dipole moment, whereas more excursions and reversals areexpected during periods of weak field intensity.

TL;DR: A long and continuous record of the geomagnetic field intensity shows that intensity variations are dominated by two modes: major episodes of field regeneration prevail on timescales of a few thousand years immediately after most reversals, whereas stable polarity states are characterized by a slow (∼0.5 Myr) relaxation process as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative magnetic field palaeointensities have been obtained from three marine cores in the Somali basin (western Indian Ocean) and a time versus depth correlation has been established from the δ18O record.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose that intensive weathering on volcanic islands, island arcs and oceanic islands, coupled with large surface and subsurface water fluxes is the missing source of mantlederived 87Sr/86Sr (0.703) in seawater Sr isotope balance.

TL;DR: Palaeomagnetic records of the path of the pole during reversals of the Earth's magnetic field provide a test of the hypothesis that dipolar or low-order axisymmetric components of the field dominate during the reversals as discussed by the authors.
