Geomagnetism and Paleomagnetism Studies
Geomagnetism and Paleomagnetism Studies is a research topic within Molecular Biology. Science Explorer counts 46k research works in it since 1950. 14.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the formation of magnetosomes in prokaryotes, the study of geomagnetic field variations over centuries, the application of dynamo simulations, and the analysis of magnetic properties and biomineralization processes. It also includes research on paleomagnetic data, environmental magnetism, and the development of geomagnetic models.
