| Abstract | Magnetic storms have caused major damage to communications and energy infrastructure in the past. Such storms have the potential to cause trillions of dollars of damage in the United States. Society is more vulnerable to these risks in areas where the Earth’s magnetic field is weak. Continent-scale weak regions have grown over the past century. Studying ancient magnetic fields will help society understand how magnetic storm risks change and evolve. This has been very challenging due to the time- |
