Abstract
  • Magnetic susceptibility (MS) is a measure of a sample material's ability to be magnetized by an applied magnetic field. Applied to sedimentology, it provides us with a proxy indicator for the concentration of magnetizable minerals present at each depth. This knowledge, in conjunction with directional magnetic alignment data, climatic histories, and other records, is used to piece together the history of Earth's magnetic field. Susceptibility also factors into the study of seismic/volcanic events, climate models, glaciation/ de-glatiation events, and biological productivity rates. As a correlative tool for many types of magnetizable materials with varying susceptibility strengths spanning orders of magnitude, MS measurements have become a ubiquitous facet of almost every branch of paleoresearch.
