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, magnetic properties of ferromagnetic minerals at high pressure, and environmental magnetism.
