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 ...

Geophysicists studied the activity of high energy electrons and clarified the unexpected protective role of the geomagnetic field surrounding the Earth. Tohoku University geophysicist Yuto Katoh led a ...

Earth's magnetic field and oxygen levels are inextricably linked, new research suggests. The strength of the geomagnetic field has gone up in lockstep with the percentage of oxygen in Earth's ...

In the South Atlantic, stretching from Chile to South Africa, there’s a wide span where the Earth’s magnetic field isn’t quite in line with the rest. Here, at what’s called the South Atlantic Anomaly, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. David Bressan is a geologist who covers curiosities about Earth. According to a press release by Tel Aviv University, an ...

Understanding the ionosphere high in the Earth's atmosphere is important due to its effects on communications systems, satellites and crucial chemical features including the ozone layer. New insights ...

The storm could also impact power systems and spacecraft operations.

Auroras may be visible from Alaska to Maine tonight as Earth reels from a colossal CME impact.

Christopher Davies receives funding from NERC. The Earth’s magnetic field, generated 3,000km below our feet in the liquid iron core, is crucially important to life on our planet. It extends out into ...

Major disturbance in the Earth’s magnetic field may make northern lights visible far more south than usual ...

Geomagnetic storms are capable of sparking beautiful displays of the Northern Lights across our night sky. However, there is a potential danger behind that beauty, especially now, with solar activity ...
