<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Abstract<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The geomagnetic field is a long-lived phenomenon that shields Earth’s atmosphere from erosion by charged solar wind. Changes in atmospheric shielding may have had profound implications on the evolution of
life. The geomagnetic field is generated in the liquid core through a convective process termed the geodynamo. Characterizations of how the paleomagnetic field changes on million-to-billion year timescales afford a unique opportunity for insights into core
processes and conditions. Quantifying the strength of the magnetic field can be made through the collection of paleointensity estimates extracted from geologic materials. However, constructing a coherent timeline of the average dipole field is challenging,
in part due to the sparsity of the paleointensity record. Here I discuss recent updates to the site-mean absolute paleointensity database PINT (<a href="http://www.pintdb.org">www.pintdb.org</a>; Bono et al., GJI, 2022) that includes records published through
2022. The PINT database is used to define a continuous paleomagnetic axial dipole moment model spanning 50 ka to ~4 Ga, MCADAM (Monte Carlo Axial Dipole Average Model; Bono et al., GRL, 2022). This model yields posterior predictions of axial dipole field strength
and allows for estimation of the median field with associated confidence bounds. Using the MCADAM model, the paleomagnetospheric standoff distance can be estimated going back to the early Archean. Magnetic standoff evolution reveals that the strength of the
magnetic atmospheric shield during the Precambrian was lower than the present day by about a factor of 2, reaching a protracted (~100 myr) minimum during the Ediacaran, before steadily climbing towards present day standoff distances. This suggests that for
most of the Precambrian, atmospheric protections were weaker and perhaps more tenuous than during the Phanerozoic.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Richard Bono earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Rochester, graduating in 2016, where he focused on using paleomagnetism gain insight into Earth’s deep interior by measuring
single oriented crystals. In 2018, he moved to the University of Liverpool, first as a member of the DEEP geomagnetism group and then as a Leverhulme early career fellow. There he worked to help bridge geodynamo simulations and paleomagnetic observations with
an emphasis on deep time. Last year Richard joined the EOAS department here at FSU.
