| Course Description |
| Kinds of magnetizations: diamagnetism, paramagnetism, ferromagnetism, antiferromagnetism, and ferrimagnetism. Magnetic
properties of minerals responsible from magnetizations of the rocks: titano-magnetites solid-solution series, magnetite-maghemite
solid-solution series, haematite-ilmenite solid-solution series, pseudobrookite-ferropseudobrookite solid solution series, magnetite-
hausmannite solid solution series, iron hydroxides minerals. Acquisition of natural remanent magnetizations: thermoremanent
magnetization, isothermal remanent magnetization, viscous remanent magnetization, chemical remanent magnetization, detrital
remanent magnetization. Acquisition of paleomagnetic data: collecting oriented rock samples, instruments used in standard
palaeomagnetic laboratory reliability tests of paleomagnetic observations: field tests, laboratory tests. Statistical analysis of
palaeomagnetic data: calculation of mean direction of remanent magnetization and calculation of mean palaeomagnetic pole
position. Determination of palaeomagnetic field intensity. Reversals of the palaeomagnetic field. Interpretation of palaeomagnetic
field direction and palaeomagnetic pole position data, the theory of continental drift (palaeomagnetism and palaeogeographic
reconstructions). Application of palaeomagnetic methods to the solution of some geological problems. |
