Journal ArticleDOI
Geomagnetic paleointensities from radiocarbon‐dated lava flows on Hawaii and the question of the Pacific nondipole low
TL;DR: In this paper, the ages of basaltic lava flows on the island of Hawaii were investigated using the Thelliers' method in vacuum and the results showed that the dispersion of virtual geomagnetic poles for the eight lavas is 15.5°, appreciably larger than the average for older lava flows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constraints on the early uplift history of the Tibetan Plateau
Chengshan Wang,Xixi Zhao,Zhifei Liu,Peter C. Lippert,Stephan A. Graham,Robert S. Coe,Haisheng Yi,Lidong Zhu,Shun Liu,Yalin Li +9 more
TL;DR: Geologic and geophysical data from north-central Tibet are presented, including magnetostratigraphy, sedimentology, paleocurrent measurements, and 40Ar/39Ar and fission-track studies, to show that the central plateau was elevated by 40 Ma ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of the Earth's mantle in controlling the frequency of geomagnetic reversals
TL;DR: In this article, a series of computer simulations of the Earth's dynamo illustrates how the thermal structure of the lowermost mantle might affect convection and magnetic field generation in the fluid core.
Journal ArticleDOI
The age of parana flood volcanism, rifting of gondwanaland, and the jurassic-cretaceous boundary.
Paul R. Renne,Marcia Ernesto,Igor Ivory Gil Pacca,Robert S. Coe,Jonathon M. Glen,Michel Prévot,Mireille Perrin +6 more
TL;DR: The Paran�-Etendeka flood volcanic event produced ∼1.5 x 106 cubic kilometers of volcanic rocks, ranging from basalts to rhyolites, before the separation of South America and Africa during the Cretaceous period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleo-intensities of the Earth's magnetic field determined from Tertiary and Quaternary rocks
TL;DR: In this article, a variety of rock types from eighteen volcanic units of the western United States were studied by Thellier's method and the NRM-TRM curves were determined, and paleo-intensities are estimated from twelve of the units.
