Welcome to the Harvard Paleomagnetics Lab! We are using novel instrumentation in magnetic imaging to address problems in planetary sciences and Earth history. We're especially proud of the quantum diamond microscope (QDM), which can help us understand magnetization in complex geological samples using its micrometer resolution.
Please look through the summaries of our recent work and don't hesitate to get in touch!
