Once a core is brought on deck of the JOIDES Resolution, it is cut into manageable sections and labeled for a variety of analyses and descriptions in the laboratory. One group of scientists, the paleomagnetists, study the Earth’s history by looking for magnetic (polar) reversals in the layers of the core. Magnetic reversals can be measured in two ways, inclination and declination.
