The objective of the laboratory and the equipment present in it, is the study of the magnetic properties of the rocks in order to obtain as much information as possible, from magnetic remanence determination, demagnetization, isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM) and anhysteretic remanent magnetization (ARM) in sediments and rocks, magnetic susceptibility and anisotropy, first-order reversal curves (FORC’S), hysteresis cycles and Curie curves. All this, to be able to develop from geological studies through the analysis of magnetostratigraphy, to establish time frames of deposits and / or specific locations, to environmental magnetism through measurements of magnetic parameters of soils and dust in suspension.
