Paleogeographic reconstructions—essentially ancient “maps of the past”—further ... The Remarkable Reversal of Earth’s Largest ...

But a new study, published this week in the journal PNAS, suggests the reversal may not be happening after all. "We have mapped changes in the Earth's magnetic field over the past 9,000 years ...

The rotation of Earth’s inner core may have paused and it could even go into reverse, new research suggests. The Earth is formed of the crust, the mantle and the inner and outer cores.

We are all going to die, eventually. But chances are that we will not immediately—or even proximally—perish when Earth’s next geomagnetic reversal occurs. Fine. So what is a geomagnetic ...

A geomagnetic field reversal probably wouldn’t be catastrophic, but it would definitely be inconvenient. Scientists think the field is generated by the flow of molten iron at the Earth’s core ...
