High-resolution Paleomagnetic Records from Speleothems using SQUID Microscopy

Explore cutting-edge techniques for obtaining high-resolution paleomagnetic records from speleothems in this 43-minute conference talk presented by Caue Borlina from John Hopkins University. Delivered at the 2023 Magnetics Information Consortium (MagIC) Workshop, the presentation focuses on the application of SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) microscopy in paleomagnetic studies. Learn about the advantages of using high-resolution SQUID magnetometers for analyzing speleothems and how this method compares to traditional paleomagnetic techniques. Gain insights into the potential of speleothems as valuable archives of Earth's magnetic field history and their implications for understanding environmental changes and paleogeography. This talk is part of a broader workshop on magnetism and Earth history, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and held at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, UCSD in La Jolla, California.
