Magnetics Information Consortium (MagIC)
Promoting information technology infrastructures for the international paleomagnetic, geomagnetic and rock magnetic community. 		 
PMAG PORTAL
Paleomagnetic Database
This portal provides access to paleomagnetic data from a broad range of studies. Data range from individual measurements to specimen, sample or site level results, and include a wide variety of derived parameters or associated rock magnetic measurements. Existing data can be viewed and saved in several formats.
RMAG PORTAL
Rock Magnetic Database
Search for data collected during rock magnetic experiments on remanence, anisotropy, hysteresis and susceptibility.

This portal is currently under construction ...

  • PmagPy has been added to Earthref.org's Online Modeling Tools. PmagPy is a software package written by Lisa Tauxe for handling paleomagnetic data, including the MagICPy scripts to help import paleomagnetic data into the MagIC database. Knowledge of Python is not required to use the software, but would be useful for customizing the programs for your own use. Detailed instructions for the PmagPy installation and numerous examples are provided in the documentation. Read more ...
  • Lisa Tauxe has updated her Online Book on Paleomagnetism that attempts to draw together the various principles and practices within paleomagnetism in a consistent and up-to-date manner. Paleomagnetic Data are useful in many applications of the Earth Sciences from determining paleocurrent directions to analyzing the long-term behavior of the geomagnetic field. Despite the diversity of applications, the techniques required to obtain and analyze the data are similar and all make use of the new MagIC Database. Read more ...
  • MagIC v2.3 Released! After two years of extensive beta testing the online database for the Magnetics Information Consortium is now available. Users can upload their own rock and paleomagnetic data and data from legacy studies into this online relational database. These data may include all measurements and their derived properties for studies of paleomagnetic inclination, declination and intensities, and for rock magnetic experiments on hysteresis, remanence, susceptibility and anisotropy. The MagIC Database contains data transferred from the IAGA paleomagnetic poles database GPMDB, the lava flow paleosecular variation database PSVRL, the lake sediment database SECVR, the transitions database TRANS and the paleointensity databases GEOMAGIA and PINT. In addition a substantial number of data compiled under the Time Averaged Field Investigations TAFI project are now included, plus a significant fraction of the data collected at SIO. Ongoing additions of legacy data include ~40 papers from studies on the Hawaiian Islands, data compilations from archeomagnetic studies and updates to the lake sediment dataset. Download software ...
  • Three scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of Hawaii are traveling to Antarctica to study the geological history of Earth's magnetic field. This scientific endeavor, project G-182 (spelled 'golf-1-8-2') of the US Antarctic Program will begin on November 16, 2006 with a flight from Christchurch/New Zealand to McMurdo in Antarctica. We will provide you with regular updates of the 2006/2007 expedition, but above all, you will be able to contact us and ask questions or get more information, because McMurdo station has high-speed internet access. So, we are looking forward to share our adventures with you or to chat to you over the internet! Expedition home page ...
  • A two week learning segment on Hotspot Volcanoes has been implemented through a collaborative effort between Melanie McWilliams, a high school Earth and Planetary Science teacher at Chula Vista High School in California, and Jamie A. Russell, a masters student at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Utilizing data collected during Jamie?s research, the students were taught about the hotspot theory and how hotspot volcanoes are important to understanding other Earth science concepts. The segment begins with five lessons, one for each day of the week and culminates with a group project for the students. Read more ...
  • The New ArArCALC v2.4 is released, encapsulating many new features and numerous upgrades that have been collated over the last four years. This release marks the first of three major upgrades that will be made public over the coming two years under new funding by the EAR Instrument and Facilities program of NSF. Download software ...
