Archeomagnetism of Piton de la Fournaise: Bearing on volcanic activity at La Réunion Island and geomagnetic secular variation in Southern Indian Ocean

Historical and other recent lavas from Piton de la Fournaise (La Réunion Island) are studied using the large sample archeomagnetic method which provides here paleodirections of the Earth Magnetic Field with confidence cones between 0.9 and 2.5°, thus offering a precise record of the geomagnetic fiel...

description Historical and other recent lavas from Piton de la Fournaise (La Réunion Island) are studied using the large sample archeomagnetic method which provides here paleodirections of the Earth Magnetic Field with confidence cones between 0.9 and 2.5°, thus offering a precise record of the geomagnetic field and potential dating constraints. Ages of the lavas are known thanks to historical chronicles (from 1708) or 14C dating and their analysis give information about the directional secular variation (SV) in a region where observatory measurements are scarce and not available before the end of the 19th century. For the past 250yr we find a high value of inclination (−50 to −55°) with respect to the geographic latitude (21°S), connected with a very restricted directional SV. Conversely, the older volcanic units present a larger SV with magnetic inclinations of between −31° and −46°, and declinations from 16°W to 10°E. These results, which are in reasonable agreement with instrumental measurements made on ships in the vicinity of La Réunion, allow us to infer that undated lavas of the northern part of the caldera emanated from eruptions during the second half of the 1700s. Other volcanic products (e.g. Mare Longue flow, Piton Chisny cone and flows and Pointe Langevin), despite their fresh morphology, are necessarily older than about 1500AD. Further knowledge of the path of the SV in the more distant past, and therefore further archeomagnetic dating, is hampered by the lack of a precise chronology through radiometric or other similar methods. Available models of the geomagnetic field during the last millennium, which suffer from the scarcity of data in the Southern Hemisphere, are discussed in the light of our results. ► Recent lavas from La Reunion Island were analyzed for Archeomagnetic dating. ► Implications for eruptive activity of the past centuries at Piton de la Fournaise. ► First constraints on the directional EMF secular variation in Southern Indian Ocean.
