The magnetically shielded room of the paleomagnetic laboratory of INGV hosts two long core cryogenic magnetometers for the measurement of the magnetic properties of both discrete rock samples and continuous sediment cores, up to 1.5 m long. The applications of paleomagnetism and rock magnetism in general span over various disciplines of Earth Sciences, from geodynamics to stratigraphy, from reconstructions of paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental changes to the monitoring of present-day air pollution.
