I am a geophysics professor specializing in rock magnetism. I am primarily editing articles on paleomagnetism, rock magnetism, geophysics and magnetism subjects in physics. I will also edit articles on subjects related to biomagnetism.

Recently, I started editing as a visiting scholar with the Deep Carbon Observatory. I do that using a separate account: User:RockMagnetist (DCO visiting scholar).

I wrote a blog about my work on Wikipedia: Why I write science articles on Wikipedia
