Introduction to the special section on fundamental and frontier research in rock magnetism

Abstract

Many of the papers in this special section were first presented in the session "Rock Magnetism: Fundamentals and Frontiers" at the 2005 Fall AGU meeting. Collectively, they represent the leading edge of research in mineral magnetism and its applications to Earth and planetary sciences, as well as a tribute to Professor D. J. Dunlop, who has made profound contributions to the field. Copyright 2006 by the American Geophysical Union.
