Dynamic history of the inner core constrained by seismic anisotropy

DA Frost, M Lasbleis, B Chandler, B Romanowicz - Nature Geoscience, 2021 - nature.com
Progressive crystallization of Earth's inner core drives convection in the outer core and
magnetic field generation. Determining the rate and pattern of inner-core growth is thus …

An initial map of fine-scale heterogeneity in the Earth's inner core

W Wang, JE Vidale - Nature Geoscience, 2022 - nature.com
The seismological properties of Earth's inner core are key to understanding its composition,

Very slow rotation of Earth's inner core from 1971 to 1974

JE Vidale - Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The rate that Earth's inner core rotates relative to the mantle and crust has been debated for
decades. Nonrotational processes, including internal deformation and flow in the outer core …

Seismic tomography of the uppermost inner core

S Burdick, L Waszek, V Lekić - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2019 - Elsevier
Seismic body wave and normal mode analyses have revealed that the inner core is solid,
strongly anisotropic, and characterized by dramatic quasi-hemispherical differences in …

Irregular transition layer beneath the Earth's inner core boundary from observations of antipodal PKIKP and PKIIKP waves
