This proposal is concerned with the inverse problem of recovering a magnetization distribution from measurements of the magnetic field in a portion of space nearby. The application domain is to Earth and planetary sciences. Indeed, the remanent magnetization of rocks provides valuable information on their history. The proposal aims at renewing the existing “Équipe Associée” Impinge ending 2015, between Apics (now Factas) team at Inria and the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at MIT (Cambridge, MA, USA), with the Department of Mathematics at Vanderbilt University (Nashville, TN, USA) as a secondary partner. Several research paths were broken towards magnetization recovery and promising numerical experiments have been conducted. This initial effort must be continued to achieve a reasonably complete methodology for reconstructing magnetizations and checking for hypotheses by geophysicists (e.g., unidirectionality of magnetization distributions).

MIT-France seed funding is a competitive collaborative research program ran by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, Ma, USA). Together with E. Lima and B. Weiss from the Earth and Planetary Sciences dept. at MIT, Apics obtained two-years support from the above-mentioned program to run a project entitled: “Development of Ultra-high Sensitivity Magnetometry for Analyzing Ancient Rock Magnetism”
NSF Grant L. Baratchart, S. Chevillard and J. Leblond are external investigators in the NSF Grant 2015-2018, “Collaborative Research: Computational methods for ultra-high sensitivity magnetometry of geological samples” led by E. B. Saff (Vanderbilt Univ.) and B. Weiss (MIT).
