Paleomagnetics

"Paleomagnetism provided some of the quantitative data about past locations of continents and oceanic plates; these observations have become cornerstones of plate tectonic theory." -Robert F. Butler

People

Many people contribute to the establishment and upkeep of the Paleomagnetics Lab. Since January of 2008 the lab has seen quite a few upgrades. Projects from all continents and many exotic locations have been analyzed in this lab from: Libya and Namibia, Africa to Argentina and Columbia, South America. And that was only summer 2008!
