▪ Abstract Recent developments in the study of buoyancy-driven convection,
magnetoconvection, and convection-driven dynamos in rapidly rotating spherical systems …

The fourth edition of Physics of the Earth maintains the original philosophy of this classic
graduate textbook on fundamental solid earth geophysics, while being completely revised …

We present the first three-dimensional (3D), time-dependent, self-consistent numerical
solution of the magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) equations that describe thermal convection …

Two recent studies of the geomagnetic field in the last 1Myr have found 14 excursions, large
changes in direction lasting 5–10kyr each, six of which are established as global …

The magnetic field of the Earth is by far the best documented magnetic field of all known
planets. Considerable progress has been made in our understanding of its characteristics …

Although the origin of Earth's and other celestial bodies' magnetic fields remains unknown,
we do know that the motion of electrically conducting fluids generates and maintains these …

A comparison of the internal structure of Earth-like planets is unavoidable to understand the
formation and evolution of the solar system, and the differences between Earth's, Mars', and …

The non-axisymmetric, non-dipolar magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune are markedly
different from the axially-dipolar dominated fields of the other planets in our Solar System …

Novelty in the biological world is the culmination of genetic changes often triggered by the
physical environment. The most radical phase of biological evolution took place during the …

An updated analysis of the global paleomagnetic database shows that the frequency
distributions of paleomagnetic inclinations for the Cenozoic and Mesozoic eras (younger …
