Constraints on the magnetic field within a stratified outer core
Colin M Hardy, Philip W Livermore, Jitse Niesen
Mounting evidence from both seismology and experiments on core composition suggests the existence of a layer of stably stratified fluid at the top of Earth's outer core. In this wo…

Three-dimensional solutions for the geostrophic flow in the Earth's core
Colin M. Hardy, Philip W. Livermore, Jitse Niesen +2
In his seminal work, Taylor (1963) argued that the geophysically relevant limit for dynamo action within the outer core is one of negligibly small inertia and viscosity in the magn…
