Investigating the Earth’s magnetic field provides a unique window into the history of Earth’s outer core, where the field is generated. Rocks gain a magnetization that is in the direction of and proportional to the Earth’s magnetic field at the time of their formation, such as w…

The first paper presented in this dissertation attempts to examine the igneous history of the younger suite of Harohalli alkaline dykes intruding the Dharwar craton in southern India providing robust constraints on the age of the Harohalli alkaline dyke swarm paleomagnetic pole …

The structure and magnetization of the oceanic crust reflect its tectonic and magmatic evolution since its initial formation. The magnetization of the crust also provides a record of the polarity reversals and strength of the Earth's geomagnetic field. In this dissertation I fir…

The Kazakhstan orocline, a pair of concentric horseshoe-shaped volcanic arcs of Devonian (external) and late Paleozoic (internal) age, is thought to have formed during the amalgamation of Eurasia. Paleomagnetic investigations of several volcanic complexes ranging in age from Sil…
