Seismic observations provide strong evidence that Earth's inner core is anisotropic, with
larger velocity in the polar than in the equatorial direction. The top 60–80 km of the inner …

The days when the Earth's inner core (IC) was viewed as a homogeneous solid sphere
surrounded by the liquid outer core (OC) are now behind us. Due to a limited number of data …

Hemispherical asymmetry is a prominent feature of Earth's inner core, but how this
asymmetry relates to core growth is unknown. Based on multiple-scattering modeling of …

Seismic waves sampling the top 100 km of the Earth's inner core reveal that the eastern
hemisphere (40° E–180° E) is seismically faster,, more isotropic, and more attenuating than …

The fine-scale seismic features near the inner core boundary (ICB) provide critical insights
into the thermal, chemical, and geodynamical interactions between liquid and solid cores …

Seismic waves have long been known to attenuate at a rate greater than that predicted by
geometric spreading of their wave fronts. Knopoff (1964) pointed out more than four decades …

Seismological observations suggest that Earth's inner core (IC) is heterogeneous and
anisotropic. Increasing seismological observations make the understanding of the …

Earth's inner core acquires texture as it solidifies within the fluid outer core. The size, shape
and orientation of the mostly iron grains making up the texture record the growth of the inner …

The seismological properties of Earth's inner core are key to understanding its composition,
dynamics and growth history. Within the inner core, fine-scale heterogeneity has previously …

The existence of hemispherical variation in the Earth's inner core is well‐documented, but
consensus has not yet been reached on its detailed structure. The uppermost layers are a …
