An illustration of what the aurora might have looked like during a polar reversal about 41,000 years ago. Earth’s magnetic field is created by its rotation, as well as the rotation of our planet’s ...

Deep beneath our feet, something extraordinary is happening. Scientists have discovered that changes in Earth's core are ...

The geomagnetic field, generated by the convecting motions of Earth’s liquid outer core, is a fundamental facet of our planet’s evolution. Its long‐term behaviour is recorded in rocks through the ...

The emergence of a mysterious area in the South Atlantic where the geomagnetic field strength is decreasing rapidly, has led to speculation that Earth is heading towards a magnetic polarity reversal.

A study on past reversals of Earth’s magnetic field has found that a rapid shift occurred within two centuries — such an event in future would increase our exposure to the Sun’s radiation that may ...

Evidence suggests that the planet may be in the opening strains of a geomagnetic chicken dance, the likes of which we haven't seen for almost a million years. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) ...

Scientists have focused on learning more about the phenomenon called the "Laschamp event" by using sound visualization technology to reveal more about the geomagnetic reversal that happened to the ...

Amoré Elsje Nel works for the South African National Space Agency. She receives a Thuthuka Grant (TTK210406592410) from the National Research Foundation. A geomagnetic storm is a disturbance in ...

Is there something strange and alien confined deep inside the Earth? Is it trying to break free and escape into the heavens? No, of course not. But in a new soundscape from the ESA, it sure sounds ...
