24:(or palaeointensity) is the study of changes in the strength of the geomagnetic field over Earth's history. Émile and Odette Thellier were the first to make laboratory measurements to determine the strength of the ancient field responsible for producing remanent magnetization in a rock or archeological artifacts.

Relative paleointensity determinations are often used in materials that may be destroyed or strongly altered during heating, such as lake and marine sediments. A measure of relative changes in paleointensity may be obtained by normalizing the NRM by a factor that represents the concentration of

Absolute paleointensity determinations involve measurements that attempt to quantify the past field strength that produced a magnetization in a rock or other material that has cooled from a high temperature. Most of these methods involve progressively removing the
