Geophysical Dynamics at the Center of the Earth

New studies are revealing the dynamics of the Earth's deep interior to a degree that could hardly be imagined even a few years ago. A combination of geophysical observations (mostly seismological, geomagnetic and geodetic) and new laboratory and computational results has revolutionized our ability to understand what happens at the core of our planet.
