The Electrical Conductivity of the Lower Mantle From High‐Pressure/High‐Temperature Measurements of Pyrolite and Ten Years of Geomagnetic Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Electromagnetic sounding coupled with experimental measurements of electrical conductivity (EC) can provide valuable constraints on the thermochemical state of Earth's lower mantle. Here, we report a new set of experimentally determined EC values of pyrolite, a candidate composition of the lower mantle, between 25 and 80 GPa at room ...
