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 ...

  • New MagIC v2.4 Released! A new version of the online database for the Magnetics Information Consortium is now available including a much improved usage of controlled vocabularies and support of more magnetic data types. Users can upload their own rock and paleomagnetic data and data from legacy studies into this online relational database. Data uploads prepared with older versions of the MagIC software will be automatically update once reprocessed with the new version of the console software. Download software ...
  • The GEOMAGIA50 database is now up and running. GEOMAGIA50 is a database that comes with a web interface intended to give users easy access to archeomagnetic data. At present, the database contains 8,000 determinations of geomagnetic field directions and intensities for the past 50,000 years. View database ...
  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • The basic design of the EarthRef.org website has been updated based on feedback from many of its users. Currently, we are about to finish the Second Phase of this Redesign Project, in which we have improved the functionality and information displayed on the home pages for EarthRef.org, GERM, MagIC and ERESE. Each of these web sites will function as the Web Portal for its corresponding database, while taking advantage of the infra-structure provided by the EarthRef.org umbrella web site and database. Please check back with us on a regular basis to see how the design evolves over the next few months. We would appreciate your comments or suggestions through the Feedback form.
