Information frozen in magnetic minerals can forecast climatic changes with more accuracy and speed
Manipur, July 16 -- Indian scientists have unraveled a technique using magnetic minerals that can forecast climatic changes faster and more accurately, the Science and Technology Ministry said in a release on Thursday. Till date, clues to climate change in the past are found in fossils, micro-organisms, gases trapped in ice and isotopes, but the laboratory techniques are cumbersome, costly, and time-consuming.
Scientists from the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism (IIG), an autonomous institute of the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, have tracked climate change by following the Paleomonsoonal pattern of the subcontinent by harnessing magnetic mineralogy, a technique that is faster and more accurate than existing met...
