Earth's Magnetic Pole Reversal Imminent

[Myra]

I just watched the National Geographic Naked Science Channel and the episode was called "Earths Invisible Shield" Apparently the magnetic shield is weakening over the South Atlantic, signaling an imminent Pole Reversal according to Scientists speaking on behalf of National Geographic. Here is an excerpt from their website:

--------------------

The Earths magnetic field, the protector of all life on Earth is under constant attack from deadly cosmic radiation. This invisible shield that we live in is weakening in a region over the South Atlantic, leaving it exposed to potentially lethal radiation. Is the Earth losing its magnetic field and doomed to a fate similar to Mars? Many scientists believe the answer lies in paleomagnetic data, and that this weakening may be a precursor to a magnetic field reversala reversal scientists know Earth is long overdue. However, humans were not around when the last reversal took place, so what does this mean for life?

Sloshing Inside Earth Changes Protective Magnetic Field

Something beneath the surface is changing Earth's protective magnetic field, which may leave satellites and other space assets vulnerable to high-energy radiation.

The gradual weakening of the overall magnetic field can take hundreds and even thousands of years. But smaller, more rapid fluctuations within months may leave satellites unprotected and catch scientists off guard, new research finds.

A new model uses satellite data from the past nine years to show how sudden fluid motions within the Earth's core can alter the magnetic envelope around our planet. This represents the first time that researchers have been able to detect such rapid magnetic field changes taking place over just a few months.

"There are these changes in the South Atlantic, an area where the magnetic field has the smallest envelope at one third [of what is] normal," said Mioara Mandea, a geophysicist at the GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany.

Even before the newly detected changes, the South Atlantic Anomaly represented a weak spot in the magnetic field — a dent in Earth's protective bubble.

Bubble bobble

The Earth's magnetic field extends about 36,000 miles (58,000 km) into space, generated from the spinning effect of the electrically-conductive core that acts something like a giant electromagnet. The field creates a tear-drop shaped bubble that has constantly shielded life on Earth against much of the high-energy radiation flowing from the sun.

The last major change in the field took place some 780,000 years ago during a magnetic reversal, although such reversals seem to occur more often on average. A flip in the north and south poles typically involves a weakening in the magnetic field, followed by a period of rapid recovery and reorganization of opposite polarity.

Some studies in recent years have suggested the next reversal might be imminent, but the jury is out on that question.

Measuring interactions between the magnetic field and the molten iron core 1,864 miles (3,000 km) down has proven difficult in the past, but the constant observations of satellites such as CHAMP and Orsted have begun to bring the picture into focus.

Electric storm

Mandea worked with Nils Olsen, a geophysicist at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, to create a model of the fluid core that fits with the magnetic field changes detected by the satellites.

However, the rapid weakening of the magnetic field in the South Atlantic Anomaly region could signal future troubles for such satellites. Radiation storms from the sun could fry electronic equipment on satellites that suddenly lacked the protective cover of a rapidly changing magnetic field.

"For satellites, this could be a problem," Mandea told SPACE.com. "If there are magnetic storms and high-energy particles coming from the sun, the satellites could be affected and their connections could be lost."

The constant radiation bombardment from the sun blows with the solar wind to Earth, where it flows against and around the magnetic field. The effect creates the tear-drop shaped magnetosphere bubble, but even the powerful field cannot keep out all the high-energy particles.

Topsy-turvy history

A large sunspot set off a major radiation storm in 2006 that temporarily blinded some sun-watching satellites. Astronauts on the International Space Station retreated to a protected area as a precaution to avoid unnecessary radiation exposure.

The Earth's overall magnetic field has weakened at least 10 percent over the past 150 years, which could also point to an upcoming field reversal.

Mandea and Olsen hope to continue refining their model with updated observations, and perhaps to eventually help predict future changes in the Earth's magnetic field.

The study was detailed in the May online edition of the journal Nature Geoscience.

Apparently this is not exactly "imminent" as in tomorrow! Don't worry. Pray for peace. The field has weakened 10%. We've got time yet.

According to everything I have been hearing it will be closer to 2012 (I think?) but it's fascinating to see that it's already starting. We have a little time but I would say better to stay away from the low lying coastlands. I know Im too close and will have to relocate.

In the meantime the current events are calling for an emergency prayer for Peace!

Hi there!
I've read with keen interest this article from Live Science.
I would like to add my modest contribution to this.

Here's the magnetic pole position since 1831 (estimated):

Movement of the Earth’s North Magnetic Pole Over Time. Diagram constructed from data on the U. S. Geological Survey’s (USGS’s) website and from the Canadian Geological Survey’s (CGS’s) website. (Refer to the latter URL for a review of the history of the search for the north magnetic pole and how its position is determined and tracked). Note that the projected year-2005 position was made by the USGS.

According to L. Newitt of the Canadian Geological Survey, since 1994 the movement of the north magnetic pole has been accelerating markedly. In 1994 it was moving at a speed of 15 km (9.3 mi.) per year. Today it is moving at more than twice that speed, or 40 km (25 mi.) per year. By contrast, in the 73 year period from 1831 to 1904 the north magnetic pole moved a little over 51 km (32 mi.) which works out to an average rate of 0.7 km (0.4 mi.) per year. Mr. Newitt indicates that the acceleration seems to be correlated with “jerks” in the geomagnetic field. A jerk is a rapid change, taking place over a year or two, in the worldwide variation of a specific component of the geomagnetic field.

I have hard time to find any information about the actual position of the magnetic pole; seems like the last accurate measurements was made in 2001 and the following positions (until 2005) was only estimations.....

idk i call bull ****, in my mind its more likely they're trying to trigger pole shift with technology such as HAARP

constant attack from deadly cosmic radiation. This invisible shield that we live in is weakening in a region over the South Atlantic, leaving it exposed to potentially lethal radiation

those bastards..

Iv been saying this for a bit but we need a crimes against humanity class action law suit against the corrupt facets in manipulating gov.

I have heard from spiritual sources that any magnetic fluxes are going to be totally naturally caused via huge dimensional shift with our sun. I've been given Sept-Oct 2011. I have been told it won't be a total pole shift, but will be significant. It will NOT be man made. The effects will be large enough, and far reaching enough, however, that the centrist, illuminati new world order structures will collapse under the weight, and regional, sovereign rule will be instituted with advanced technology and ET help...for those who have chosen to ascend to 4th and 5th dimensional consciousness.

I will share more here as well! All the messages I hear are VERY positive, and this is the heralding of the new paradigm on this planet.

[clarkkent]

i like that positivity theresa!

if a poleshift happens, conscioussness is more important than where you are physically. im of a mind that "we" inhabit everyconceivable timeline,dimension
this is just one of them.

your conscioussness and ability to raise it is what matters. spiritual evolution is much more important than anything physical.

It is a result of a natural occurrence BUT I can easily see them trying to manipulate it with HAARP for the worst to serve their own evil ends.

In my opinion It`s more likely that they would try to stop it...Status quo is their best friend/weapon. As Theresa said, their structure would collapse if there is a pole shift (Or any significant global natural "event", i would say).

[lohiaaditya]

What would be the consequences of a earth pole shift on the moon? I think moon is kept in place and rotating because of the two poles and the magnetics, so what would happen if the poles, hence the magnets reverse? I think it would be something strange for sure.
