Peer-Reviewed Papers on Earth's Magnetic Field & Sun's 11-Year Cycle

[Routaran]

Hey all,
i was having a dicussion with a friend of mine and i wanted some evidence to support my position as indicated by the title.

I was hoping someone here could help me find some peer reviewed papers published on how long it takes for the Earth's magnetic field to flip, what happens to its strength and the forces within the Earth that drive this change.

papers on the sun's 11 year cycle, what it does during the solar minimum & maximum and the forces that drive this cycle.

Thanks

However, for your reference seeing as you aren't actively discussing it:

Wiki gives you citations at for its claims, I'd start here.
