Apparent density and magnetic susceptibility were measured before measuring the behaviour of the natural remanent magnetization (NRNi).
Magnetic susceptibility, saturation isothermal remanent magnetization, natural remanent magnetization, electrical resistivity, dielectric constant, wet P-wave velocity, effective porosity, and wet, dry and grain densities were measured in the Petrophysical Laboratory of Research Institute of Earth Crust of St.
Joyce Castro and Laurie Brown of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst had originally set out to test the theory behind TRM by measuring the remanent magnetizations in Hawaiian lava flows from 1950 and 1972 and comparing those to the direction of the present magnetic field in Hawaii.
