TY - T1 - Geodynamically consistent inferences on the uniform sampling of Earth's paleomagnetic inclinations SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/323396 T3 - A1 - Rolf, T.; Pesonen, L. J. A2 - PB - Y1 - 2018 LA - eng AB - Paleomagnetism is a key method to reconstruct the Earth's paleogeography and thus essential for understanding tectonic evolution, but it assumes that the Earth's magnetic field structure has always averaged to a geocentric axial dipole (GAD). The GAD hypothesis may be tested using the observed inclination frequency distribution, but only if continents sampled all of the Earth's latitudes uniformly, which is not known. Here, we provide new insight into the uniform sampling problem by employing a ...
