Connection between the Earth’s Climate Change and Variations in the Geomagnetic Field and Cosmic Ray Fluxes during the Past Ten Thousands of Years

2013 
A possible influence of changes in cosmic ray fluxes and solar variability on climate has been the subject of intense investigations in recent years. Recent studies have shown that the interrelation between the geomagnetic field parameters and climate can also be traced on different time scales. A connection was presented in this analysis between the Earth climate change and variations in the geomagnetic field and cosmic ray fluxes based on the data obtained from different natural archives for the Holocene. So paleodata analysis of variations in cosmic ray fluxes, geomagnetic field, and climate has revealed that correlation between these data has existed on the time scales of several thousand and ten thousand years. Examination of data on changes in the Earth’s magnetic moment over the past ~10,000 years and proxy data on precipitation at low latitudes has shown that time changes in the geomagnetic dipole moment can play an important role in controlling rainfall at low latitudes in some regions of the Earth. Through these processes, the geomagnetic field of the Earth’s atmosphere could affect climate change in the Earth’s past. Of course, not all aspects of this complex problem are understood now.
