Constraints from material properties on the dynamics and evolution of Earth's core

C Davies, M Pozzo, D Gubbins, D Alfe - Nature Geoscience, 2015 - nature.com
The Earth's magnetic field is powered by energy supplied by the slow cooling and freezing
of the liquid iron core. Efforts to determine the thermal and chemical history of the core have …

Longitudinal structure of Earth's magnetic field controlled by lower mantle heat flow

JE Mound, CJ Davies - Nature Geoscience, 2023 - nature.com

Double-diffusive translation of Earth's inner core

R Deguen, T Alboussière… - Geophysical Journal …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
The hemispherical asymmetry of the inner core has been interpreted as resulting from a high-
viscosity mode of inner core convection, consisting in a translation of the inner core. A …

A Boussinesq slurry model of the F-layer at the base of Earth's outer core

J Wong, CJ Davies, CA Jones - Geophysical Journal …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Seismic observations suggest that a stably stratified layer, known as the F-layer, 150–300
km thick exists at the bottom of Earth's liquid outer core. These observations contrast with the …

Geomagnetic field effects on living systems
