This article discusses the contradiction between ancient records of Earth's magnetic field and the formation of volcanic activity regions, and proposes a statistical modeling approach to reconcile these data.
Ancient records of Earth's magnetic field seem to contradict a conceptual picture of how regions of volcanic activity form. Statistical modelling now reconciles these data with our understanding of mantle fluid dynamics. See p.846
