This special issue of LATINMAG LETTERS contents the contributions presented at the Third Biennial Meeting of the Latin-American Association of Paleomagnetism and Geomagnetism (LATINMAG): http://latinmag.org/

The meeting was held at the Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de la República, Montevideo, Uruguay (http://www.fcien.edu.uy/), performed from 23 to 26 October of 2013.

As the previous Meetings, 2009 at Venezuela and 2011 at Argentina, it was devoted mainly to following topics: Geomagnetism, Paleomagnetism, Rock Magnetism, Archeomagnetism, Magnetostratigraphy, Environmental Magnetism, Magnetofabric and Magnetic Prospecting. These Meetings promote the update of state of art in Paleo and Geomagnetism, the active participation of undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as the exchange between institutions and countries.

The meeting included 91 participations: 88 regular presentations and 3 invited lectures given by colleagues like Daniel Rey from Universidad de Vigo, Roberto Molina Garza from UNAM and Joaquim Linthe, of JFZ. In this issue are published the expanded abstracts of 84 of the regular presentations and the 3 abstracts of the invited lectures. Short abstract of all participations are in the Program of the Meeting.

The contributions have been organized in four main Sessions.

Session A: Geomagnetism – Geophysic Methods; Session B: Paleomagnetism – Tectonics; Session C: Archeomagnetism, Paleointensity, Paleosecular Variations; Session D: Rock Magnetism – Environmental Magnetism

The contributions cover a quite wide scope of problems from the 4 kind of central topics of each session. The session with the highest number of contributions is Paleomagnetism and Tectonics. The contributions come mainly from Latin-American colleagues from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Uruguay, and as well from Czech Republic, France, Germany, Spain and U.S.A.
