Anisotropy of the Earth's inner core

X Song - Reviews of geophysics, 1997 - Wiley Online Library
The inner core has the intriguing property that seismic waves traveling parallel to the Earth's
spin axis arrive earlier than those traveling parallel to the equatorial plane. The travel time is …

Constraints on seismic velocities in the Earth from traveltimes

Thermal evolution of the core with a high thermal conductivity

S Labrosse - Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2015 - Elsevier
The rate at which heat is extracted across the core mantle boundary (CMB) is constrained by
the requirement of dynamo action in the core. This constraint can be computed explicitly …

Melting-induced stratification above the Earth's inner core due to convective translation
