Objective
The ROKMAG network was initially aimed at promoting scientific exchanges between eight laboratories (Barcelona, Oxford, Madrid, Marseille, Montpellier, Munich, Utrecht, Zurich) specially interested in methodological investigations about the significance of magnetic signals in rocks. Our general approach consists of transferring into Earth Sciences the knowledge of solid state physics. The methodological themes selected should allow to improve our tools for a better understanding of the behavior and origin of the Earth's magnetic field, the history of continents and oceans, the climatic fluctuations in the past, and the environmental effects of human activities. From nine candidacies, we selected for the present peco proposal three laboratories from Russia (Borok), Czech Republic (Praha) and Bulgaria (Sofia), with the objectives of:(i) extending the scope of our original project by reinforcing mainly theoretical approach and environmental studies, (ii) developping an actual scientific cooperation, based on exchanges of scientists, between Eastern and Western Europe laboratories, and (iii) reinforcing the scientific potential of the Eastern European laboratories, specially in terms of equipment. The group from the Geophysical observatory at Borok (scientific leader Dr. Shcherbakov) is one of the foremost in the world with regard to numerical modelling of magnetic properties of iron oxides and experimental studies about the methods allowing to recover the past field intensity (paleointensity). Dr. Petrovsky's group from the Geophysical Institute in Praha is known for its great experience regarding the properties of magnetic minerals and the effects of deformation on the magnetic properties of rocks. The Bulgarian group from the Geophysical Institute at Sofia, lead by Dr. Butcharova has an unparalleled experience about the magnetic properties of the loess deposits from Central Europe. This extension of our network is hoped to lead to significant advances, regarding the theory of magnetism in minerals, the paleointensity methods, the relationship between magnetic anisotropy and rock deformation, the detection of anthropic pollution using magnetic means, and the use of loess deposits as paleoclimatic indicators.
