Research
Interests
Much of my
research focuses on polarity reversals of Earth's magnetic field. By collecting
paleomagnetic records of the geomagnetic field as it undergoes polarity
reversal, we hope to document how the field behaves during the polarity
transition. This in turn will help us understand what causes the field to
change polarity.
Other areas
of active research in the FIU paleomagnetism group include Caribbean tectonics,
and the effects of fires on the magnetic properties of surface soils in the
Everglades.
