Turbulent motions of liquid metal in Earth's outer core generate the geomagnetic field.
Magnetic field observations from low-Earth-orbit satellites, together with advanced numerical …

An accurate description of turbulent core convection is necessary in order to build robust
models of planetary core processes. Towards this end, we focus here on the physics of …

The purpose of this SpringerBrief is to review heat transfer in layers of convective fluid. Six
different configurations are considered—three that are versions of Rayleigh–Bénard (RB) …

The dramatic decay of dipole geomagnetic field intensity during the last 160 years coincides
with changes in Southern Hemisphere (SH) field morphology and has motivated speculation …

The force balance of rotating Rayleigh–Bénard convection regimes is investigated using
direct numerical simulation on a laterally periodic domain, vertically bounded by no-slip …

Rotating convective turbulence is ubiquitously found across geophysical settings, such as
surface and subsurface oceans, planetary atmospheres, molten metal planetary cores …

The seismological exploration of the Earth's inner core has revealed unexpected and
puzzling structural complexities. Its elastic anisotropy is now well established, and has been …

Understanding fluid flows in planetary cores and subsurface oceans, as well as their
signatures in available observational data (gravity, magnetism, rotation, etc.), is a …

Intrinsic magnetic fields were once commonplace across our Solar System, and many
planetary bodies have sustained active dynamos to the present day. The nature and …

The mantle global circulation, including deep subduction and lower mantle superplumes,
exerts first‐order controls on the evolution of the core, the history of the geodynamo, and the …
