From Cosmic Explosions to Terrestrial Fires? A Reply
Deschamps and Mottez (hereafter DM) argue that the Gauss-Matuyama terrestrial magnetic field reversal may have left a vanishing main dipole moment to the field for a time of order 10,000 years. They say this may have allowed an enhanced cosmic ray flux, boosting the effect we proposed in Melott and Thomas (2019). We point out that the bulk of the cosmic ray flux from a nearby supernova should be too energetic, up to a million times more energetic than the limits of deflection by the terrestrial magnetic field. In fact, only those highly energetic ones will directly reach the troposphere, relevant for cloud-to-ground lightning. From Cosmic Explosions to Terrestrial Fires?: A Discussion. F. Deschamps and F.

期刊介绍:
One of the oldest journals in geology, The Journal of Geology has since 1893 promoted the systematic philosophical and fundamental study of geology.
The Journal publishes original research across a broad range of subfields in geology, including geophysics, geochemistry, sedimentology, geomorphology, petrology, plate tectonics, volcanology, structural geology, mineralogy, and planetary sciences. Many of its articles have wide appeal for geologists, present research of topical relevance, and offer new geological insights through the application of innovative approaches and methods.
