Design of a database of remanent magnetization dominated magnetic field anomalies

Magnetic field interpretation is not an alternative to palaeomagnetic methods of recovering remanent magnetization information, both because it deals with the resultant of induced and remanent magnetizations and because confidence in recovered magnetization directions cannot match than provided by direct palaeomagnetic measurement. Nevertheless, magnetic field interpretation is highly complementary to palaeomagnetic studies. Palaeomagnetism provides detailed information from small, localised samples whereas magnetic field interpretation provides estimates of the bulk magnetization of substantial volumes (which may be completely buried and un-sampled by boreholes). Without palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic studies much of the geological information latent in magnetic field measurements cannot be accessed, and without the coverage of magnetic field data the extents and relationships of subsurface magnetization events revealed by palaeomagnetic studies cannot be fully mapped.
