Paleomagnetic fieldwork in Switzerland with Dieke Gerritsen

Dieke is a master’s student Earth, Structure and Dynamics Masters at Utrecht University, currently working on her graduation thesis in paleomagnetism. Plate reconstructions are essential tools in tectonic, palaeogeography, -climate, -oceanography, and -biology studies. Apparent polar wander paths (APWPs) provide quantitative information to create these plate reconstructions and their calculation requires that the palaeosecular variation […]
