High‐Resolution Magnetic‐Geochemical Mapping of the Serpentinized and Carbonated Atlin Ophiolite, British Columbia: Toward Establishing Magnetometry as a Monitoring Tool for In Situ Mineral Carbonation

Abstract

Magnetic remote sensing has been used in unlocking otherwise inaccessible information about geodynamic processes. Changes in magnetic anomalies, and magnetization distribution as inferred from magnetic data inversion, emerge from one or a combination of the contrast between geomagnetic polarity reversals at the time of remanence acquisition, source geometry/structural contrast (e.g., faults), and/or variations in magnetic carriers and rock composition. Inverse modeling of magnetic signals is applied to decipher crustal architecture, the nature
