Dynamic history of the inner core constrained by seismic anisotropy
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 …

Seismic tomography of the uppermost inner core
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 …

Double-diffusive translation of Earth's inner core
The hemispherical asymmetry of the inner core has been interpreted as resulting from a high-
viscosity mode of inner core convection, consisting in a translation of the inner core. A …

Sharpness of the hemispherical boundary in the inner core beneath the northern Pacific
R Iritani, H Kawakatsu, N Takeuchi - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2019 - Elsevier
The hemispherical nature of heterogeneities of the isotropic velocity and attenuation of the
inner core has been extensively studied by seismic observations, but consensus on the …

An attenuating, isotropic and heterogeneous uppermost inner core: evidence from global PKiKP-PKIKP amplitude ratio tomography
The Earth's inner core is solidifying from the liquid outer core, where convection currents
power the geodynamo. Constraining properties of the inner core is fundamentally important …
