Did lunar tides sustain the early Earth's dynamo?

Jérémie Vidal, David Cébron

Geological data show that, early in its history, the Earth had a large-scale magnetic field with an amplitude comparable to the one of the present geomagnetic field. However, its o…

On the external forcing of global eruptive activity in the past 300 years

J-L. Le Mouël, D. Gibert, V. Courtillot +11

The decryption of the temporal sequence of volcanic eruptions is a key step in better anticipating future events. Volcanic activity is the result of a complex interaction between i…

On two formulations of polar motion and identification of its sources

F. Lopes, V. Courtillot, JL. Le Mouël +1

Differences in interpretation may arise from differences in formulation of the equations of celestial mechanics. This paper focuses on the Liouville system of differential equation…

A multi-decadal view of the heat and mass budget of a volcano in unrest: La Soufrière de Guadeloupe (French West Indies)

David E. Jessop, Séverine Moune, Roberto Moretti +11

Particularly in the presence of a hydrothermal system, many volcanoes output large quantities of heat through the transport of water from deep within the edifice to the surface. Th…

Dynamo action in sliding plates of anisotropic electrical conductivity

Thierry Alboussiere, Kamel Drif, Franck Plunian

With materials of anisotropic electrical conductivity, it is possible to generate a dynamo with a simple velocity field, of the type precluded by Cowling's theorems with isotropic…

Constraints on the composition and temperature of LLSVPs from seismic properties of lower mantle minerals

Kenny Vilella, Thomas Bodin, Charles-Edouard Boukaré +4

Here, we provide a reappraisal of potential LLSVPs compositions based on an improved mineralogical model including, for instance, the effects of alumina. We also systematically inv…
