The PINT absolute palaeointensity database

Welcome to the new homepage of the PINT Database (previously hosted at http://earth.liv.ac.uk/pint/). This database of absolute palaeointensity measurements is maintained by Andrew J. Biggin at the University of Liverpool.

If you use the PINT database, please cite our studies: Bono et al. (GJI, 2022, doi:10.1093/gji/ggab490) and Chen et al. (GJI, 2026, doi:10.1093/gji/ggaf490)

If you encounter any errors in the PINT database, the website, or think we have missed a study to add to the database, please email Andrew J. Biggin with your comments.
