2022  Postdoctoral Humboldt Research Fellowship. Assessment of sedimentary 10Be data reliability for global geomagnetic field models.

Records of paleomagnetic field intensity variations are of paramount importance for understanding the evolution and driving mechanisms sustaining the geodynamo. One of the few means of obtaining continuous reconstructions of this evolution relies on sedimentary records. They provide an important tool for magnetostratigraphy, and most importantly, allow us to trace the directional and intensity changes in the past. Marine sedimentary sequences record the paleomagnetic field history by two independent mechanisms: the alignment of magnetic particles, which underlies continuous records of relative paleointensity (RPI), and the archivation of cosmogenic isotopes, in particular 10Be, whose production by cosmic ray spallation is modulated by the screening action of the dipole component of the Earth’s field.

Additional insight on the change of the Earth's interior could be gained with global data-based models. The principal sources of paleomagnetic data used for global field modelling are natural remanent magnetisation of sediments, volcanic rocks and archeomagnetic fragments. The records of cosmogenic 10Be provide an independent source of data, unaffected by rock magnetic alterations, and could be complementary integrated into the global field models, but nowadays global magnetic field models do not include beryllium records that directly influence the Gauss coefficient. Implementation of cosmogenic 10Be into global magnetic field models should be done with caution, due to persisting environmental contribution into the signal. The main objectives of this project are to filter the misleading information by the virtue of developed 10Be scaling routine and to assign the uncertainty related to this method. Accurate error estimations are necessary for robust geomagnetic field modelling and recovery of unhampered amplitude of magnetic field changes. These steps will allow us to integrate the records of cosmogenic 10Be into the global field models and to answer the questions related to global or regional simultaneous occurrence of geomagnetic excursions and data distribution influence on the models.
