Geomagnetic Dipole Changes and Upwelling/Downwelling at the Top of the Earth's Core

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2018
The convective state of the top of Earth's outer core is still under debate. Conflicting evidence from seismology and geomagnetism provides arguments for and against a thick stably stratified layer below the core-mantle boundary.

Mantle cooling regulation and ancient geomagnetic field

open access: yesRussian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2022
The joined core and mantle thermal evolution model of the Earth for 6 Gy is considered. The model describes evolution of the heat fluxes, temperature distribution in the Earth, energy available for the magnetic field generation. Using Monte Carlo method

GRACE—Gravity Data for Understanding the Deep Earth’s Interior

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2020
While the main causes of the temporal gravity variations observed by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) space mission result from water mass redistributions occurring at the surface of the Earth in response to climatic and anthropogenic ...

Outer Core Stratification From the High Latitude Structure of the Geomagnetic Field

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2018
The presence of stable stratification has broad implications for the thermal and compositional state of the outer core, the evolution of Earth's deep interior, and the energetics of the geodynamo.

Understanding the effects of the core on the nutation of the Earth

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2017
In this review paper, we examine the changes in the Earth orientation in space and focus on the nutation (shorter-term periodic variations), which is superimposed on precession (long-term trend on a timescale of years).

From global tectonics to global geodynamics

open access: yesГеофизический журнал, 2018
Observations suggest that global (plate) tectonics operates on the Earth. The most characteristic features of the global tectonics are ocean floor spreading in mid-ocean ridges and subduction in deep-sea trenches.

New shear wave splitting measurements using broadband seismic data recorded by the BX seismological network in Botswana

open access: yesData in Brief, 2023
New measurements shear-wave splitting (SWS) were determined using a teleseismic dataset from 21 broadband seismic stations belonging to the GSN-BX network in Botswana archived at IRIS-DMC.

A coupled core-mantle evolution: review and future prospects

open access: yesProgress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2020
In this review, I provide the current status and future prospects for the coupled core-mantle evolution and specifically summarize the constraints arising from geomagnetism and paleomagnetism on the long-term secular variations of the geomagnetic field ...

Diamonds sampled by plumes from the core–mantle boundary [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2010
Diamonds are formed under high pressure more than 150 kilometres deep in the Earth's mantle and are brought to the surface mainly by volcanic rocks called kimberlites. Several thousand kimberlites have been mapped on various scales, but it is the distribution of kimberlites in the very old cratons (stable areas of the continental lithosphere that are ...

Avalanches at the core‐mantle boundary [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2002
The partial collapse of topographic structure at the core‐mantle boundary (CMB) in avalanches, slumps or turbidity flows, would cause sudden temperature changes in both the upper core and the lower mantle. Although such collapses are hypothetical, it is interesting to investigate the potential consequences.
