Dynamo action in the earth's fluid outer core is known to be responsible for generating the earth's main magnetic field, however, the mechanism for polarity transition is still unknown. Polarity transitions are a fundamentally important property of the geomagnetic field, but because they have not taken place in historic time, it is necessary to turn to the paleomagnetic record to understand the mechanism by which they occur.Read More
