Abstract

In this thesis, the first regional models of the geomagnetic field in the European region based on palaeomagnetic data (archaeomagnetic data and lake sediment records) are proposed. Overall, the regional models allow us to analyze the paleosecular variation of the geomagnetic field for the last 8000 years: from 6000 BC to 1900 AD, connecting with the instrumental models, such as the IGRF. Several strategies have been developed for the inversion process of the palaeomagnetic data by applying, in the space, the spherical cap harmonic analysis SCHA and its revised version R-SCHA2D. In time, all models were obtained using the sliding overlapping windows method.
