The huge number of earthquakes around South Sandwich Islands which has increased dramatically this year is clear sign that the shifting of Earth’s magnetic field is speeding up. However, there is another clear sign that the reversal process of Earth’s magnetic field is speeding up, and it is nothing other than the South Atlantic Anomaly. This anomaly is an indicator of an upcoming geomagnetic reversal. Several studies that used data from ESA mission swarm revealed that one of the reversed polarity patch located at the CMB under the South Atlantic Ocean is growing with a pronounced rate of −2.54•105 nT per century and with western drift.
Do you study in geomagnetic field ?
Do you have any links to the poleshift
Mavstar observatory the only place I no so I’m looking for others who are studying this ps
