Research
- The long-term evolution of the Earth's magnetic field
(especially in relation to the geodynamo mechanisms and
the early history of the field) and its geological and geodynamical implications;

between physical, chemical and magnetic properties of minerals);
- Development of new techniques and instruments for paleomagnetic and
rock magnetic research
