The long-term evolution of the Earth's magnetic field (especially in relation to the
geodynamo mechanisms and the early history of the field) and its geological and geodynamical
implications
Geodynamics and global plate tectonics (eg., large igneous province formation and
true polar wander)
Magnetism of rocks, minerals, and synthetic materials
Environmental magnetism (eg., biomineralization and the relationships between physical,
chemical and magnetic properties of minerals)
Development of new techniques and instruments for paleomagnetic and rock magnetic
research
