A new set of qualitative reliability criteria to aid inferences on palaeomagnetic dipole moment variations through geological time
Records of reversal frequency support forcing of the geodynamo over geological timescales but obtaining these for earlier times (e.g. the Precambrian) is a major challenge. Changes in the measured virtual (axial) dipole moment of the Earth, averaged over several millions of years or longer, also hav...
