This project aims to build on recent advances in statistical inference to develop a new quantitative framework for palaeomagnetism. Palaeomagnetic analysis of Earth's ancient magnetic field helps us to derive plate tectonic reconstructions and to use geomagnetic reversals to date rock sequences. These applications depend on statistical methods that are either flawed or that lack sufficient diagnostic power to be useful for addressing increasingly complex questions. Expected outcomes are an urgently needed new generation of palaeomagnetic statistical analysis methods. The project will provide quantitative tools that will benefit all palaeomagnetic applications across Earth Science and have widespread benefit and impact in academic and industrial research.

该项目的目的是建立在统计推断的最新进展，开发一个新的定量框架古地磁。对地球古磁场的古地磁分析有助于我们推断板块构造重建，并利用地磁反转来确定岩石序列的年代。这些应用依赖于统计方法，这些方法要么有缺陷，要么缺乏足够的诊断能力，无法解决日益复杂的问题。预期成果是急需的新一代古地磁统计分析方法。该项目将提供定量工具，将有利于地球科学的所有古地磁应用，并在学术和工业研究中产生广泛的利益和影响。
