The novel method to model the global paleomagnetic field developed in a previous project will be extended to accommodate time series of sediment data.

Investigation of Space Weather Effects by Swarm Magnetic Field Data and Relationship to Ground Observations (SWESMAG) project develops a new Sheet FAC (SFAC) index from Swarm mission measurements that quantify the magnitude of the large-scale FAC system by the maximum absolute value of the magnetic perturbation for each Swarm crossing of the auroral oval.

This project aims at developing a new, data-based model of the last geomagnetic field reversal, the Matuyama-Brunhes reversal about 780 000 years ago.

The aim of this project is to determine if the information about past geomagnetic field variations in ¹⁰Be data series from sediments can be separted from other environmental influences in order to be used to improve global reconstructions of the paleomagnetic field.

The project focuses on connecting and understanding long-term changes of the Earth’s magnetic field, paleomagnetosphere, solar variability and their implications on paleoclimate studies in an interdisciplinary manner, in particular considering geomagnetic excursions during the past 100 ka. We study the configuration of the paleomagnetosphere and the solar variability over the past 100 ka, in particular during geomagnetic excursions, and their effects on the shielding against galactic cosmic rays and in situ cosmogenic nuclide production rates.
