Earth's magnetic field is generated by fluid motion in the liquid iron core. Details of how this
occurs are now emerging from numerical simulations that achieve a self-sustaining …

Seismic observations provide strong evidence that Earth's inner core is anisotropic, with
larger velocity in the polar than in the equatorial direction. The top 60–80 km of the inner …

Enlarged and fully updated, this new edition takes into account the considerable
experimental and theoretical progress recently made in the field. Introduction to the Physics …

Topics involved in studies of the Earth's magnetic field and its secular variation range from
the intricate observations of geomagnetism, to worldwide studies of archeomagnetism and …

Structural geologists are well aware of the fact that isotropic rocks are quite exceptional in
nature. Whicheverorigin, sedimentary, metamorphicormagmatic, rocks are shaped with a …

The travel times of seismic waves that traverse the Earth's inner core show a small but
systematic variation over the past three decades. This variation is best explained by a …

We report the results of X ray diffraction experiments with the diamond anvil cell to pressures
above 300 GPa at room temperature on pure iron and an iron‐nickel alloy. These data …

In this section the contribution of CPO to seismic anisotropy in the deep Earth with cases of
olivine and the role of melt is illustrated. The CPO in rocks of upper-mantle origin is now well …

We have investigated the relationship between heterogeneity and anisotropy in the inner
core. Heterogeneity was examined using PKP (DF) and PKP (BC) phases traveling in the …

The difference between the travel times of com-pressional waves that turn in the Earth's
liquid outer core (PKP-BC) and those that run in the solid inner core (PKIKP-DF) is primarily …
