This project seeks to clarify the history of Earth's inner core formation and its impact on the planet's magnetic field. By developing new paleomagnetic techniques, it aims to provide insights into the evolution of Earth's dynamo and its implications for planetary habitability.
The existence of Earth's inner core was a major discovery almost a century ago, and since then the timing of its nucleation remains highly debated.
This major event in the Earths history enhanced the energy necessary to maintain the magnetic field to the present-day, making our planet habitable.
Earth has thus escaped the fate of planets like Mars that lost its protective shield.
While the community agreed to place the inner core formation at ~600 million years ago in the Ediacaran Period, new e…
