About this Research Topic
Research in environmental magnetism spans the geosciences and branches of physics, chemistry, biology and environmental science, including research on climate change, pollution, iron biomineralization, and depositional and diagenetic processes in sediments, etc. Recent progress in environmental magnetism has focused on quantitative interpretation of magnetic proxies, due to increasing use of advanced scientific tools and methods, such as new unmixing tools, micromagnetic modeling, and even elaborate techniques from outside the Earth Sciences.
This Research Topic will cover new techniques that demonstrate how environmental magnetism has benefited from close collaborations with biology, chemistry and physics, and how it has also had an impact in these fields. In addition, contributions will be welcomed from environmental magnetic applications that elucidate wide-ranging environmental and geological processes.
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
