      We present a paleomagnetic and rock magnetic data set from two long sediment cores collected from Bellsund and Isfjorden contourite drifts located on the eastern side of the Fram Strait (western Spitsbergen margin). The data set gave the opportunity to define the behavior of the past geomagnetic field at high latitude and to constrain the palaeoclimatic events that occurred in a time framework ...
    • Multiproxy investigation of the last 2,000 years BP marine paleoenvironmental record along the western Spitsbergen margin

      A reconstruction of the last 2,000 years BP of environmental and oceanographic changes on the western margin of Spitsbergen was performed using a multidisciplinary approach including the fossil assemblages of diatoms, planktic and benthic foraminifera and calcareous nannofossils and the use of geochemistry (X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction). We identified two warm periods ...
    • Reconstruction of the Virtual Geomagnetic Pole (VGP) path at high latitude for the last 22 kyr: The role of radial field flux patches as VGP attractor 

      Caricchi, Chiara; Campuzano, Saioa A.; Sagnotti, Leonardo; Macri, Patrizia; Lucchi, Renata Giulia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-24)
      Reconstruction of geomagnetic field changes has a strong potential to complement geodynamo modeling and improve the understanding of Earth's core dynamics. Recent works based on geomagnetic measurements pointed out that over the last two decades the position of the north magnetic pole has been largely determined by the influence of two competing flux lobes under Canada and Siberia. In order to ...
