Earth's Core: Dynamics, Structure, Rotation
Geomagnetism, dynamo theory, seismology, geodesy, and mineral physics each present significant perspectives on Earth's core.
When interelated, scientists gain and invaluable vantage from which to understans the evolution, dynamics, and state of the
core. Earth's Core: Dynamics, Structure, Rotation presents a synthesis of current understanding in proactive analyses of Earth core phenomena, including research in core composition,
wave-speed variation, magnetic field signatures, core mantle boundary issues, and more.
