Abstract:Sampling strategies used in paleomagnetic studies play a crucial role in
dictating the accuracy of our estimates of properties of the ancient
geomagnetic field. However, there has been little quantitative analysis
of optimal paleomagnetic sampling strategies and the community has
instead defaulted to traditional practices that vary between
laboratories. In this paper, we quantitatively evaluate the accuracy of
alternative paleomagnetic sampling strategies through numerical
experiment and an associated analytic… Show more
