    1. Isothermal remanent magnetization

      Although other remanence-acquisition processes commonly occur isothermally (e.g., ARM and CRM), the term IRM is generally understood to involve the application and removal of a significant DC magnetic field, that is, one approaching the coercivity of ferrimagnetic materials (on the order of several millitesla to tens or hundreds of millitesla).

      Such intense fields are rare in natural terrestrial environments, but IRMs can be imparted by lightning strikes
