Studies of the paleointensity of the geomagnetic field are                 essential if we are to understand the mechanisms that generate                  the field.  Despite its importance, there is a general dearth of                paleointensity data, in part because of al lack of suitable                     materials.  Obtaining data from lavas and archeological materials               is time consuming and the record cannot begin to achieve the time               and space density necessary.  Marine sediments are not ideal                    records because only smoothed and relative paleointensity data                  may be obtained.  Nonetheless, they could provide continuous,                   well data sequences from many areas around the globe.  Initial                  work on box core sediments are encouraging.  Funds are provided                 to produce relative paleointensity data from three widespread                   areas spanning at least the last half million years.  These will                be used to assess possible periodicities in paleointensity and                  ultimately to assess relative contributions of dipole versus non-               dipole terms.  In addition to analyzing Scripps core material, a                better technique for deconvolving long core measurements than is                currently available will be developed.
