New Research Reveals How Dynamo Reversals Impact Mars Magnetic Fields

New Research Reveals How Dynamo Reversals Impact Mars Magnetic Fields

Martian impact basins, previously assumed to be demagnetised due to an inactive planetary dynamo, may instead reflect the impact of a reversing magnetic field, a new study suggests. Led by Dr Silpaja Chandrasekar, PhD, indicates that Mars’s fluctuating dynamo may have been active longer than anticipated, with implications for understanding…
