FORCintense

forcintense

FORCintense is an implementation within FORCinel of the Muxworthy-Heslop method of estimating paleointensity from FORC diagrams [1,2]. This feature is still under beta testing, so should be used with some caution at this point. Please let me know how you get on with it; I’d be happy to help out with any issues. At the moment the code is not compatible with VARIFORC processed data. I aim to update this in the near future.

 

For details of the method, please consult the original papers:

A recent application of this method to dusty olivine is described here:
