Nature Geoscience: Five-year anniversary highlight

Nature Geoscience highlighted our article “Reconciling the hemispherical structure of Earth’s inner core with its super-rotation“, as one of the ten favourite papers in their web focus that celebrates “the fifth anniversary of Nature Geoscience“.

“Nature Geoscience is now five years old. To celebrate, we look back on some numbers regarding the publication process in our editorial. We have asked nine scientists to look back on events and insights of the past five years. Finally, we present a selection of ten of our favourite articles in the journal, across disciplines and across our opinion, review and primary research sections.We present a selection of ten of our favourite articles in the journal, across disciplines and across our opinion, review and primary research sections.”

“Earth’s solid inner core is separated into two distinct hemispheres and is thought to rotate faster than the Earth. An analysis of seismic travel time data allows quantification of the displacement of the hemisphere boundary with time, and results in an estimated super-rotation several orders of magnitude smaller than previously reported.”
