It's time we scientists and the major funding agencies (#NASA, #NSF, etc) start thinking about how planetary interiors influence habitability. We are just scratching the surface.

Despite the significance of the Earth's core, we don't know exactly how it formed and developed.

Mineral physics is bringing us closer to solving the mystery, writes Dr Alfred Wilson-Spencer in @ConversationUK.

@tadkomacek @roguewave @BrinMrc Ditto! It was super fun! Hope to do it again.

[Peter E Driscoll @PdriscollE]

Earths magnetic field reverses irregularly 4 times every million years or so, because the magnetic energy in the dipole decreases, causing it to fluctuate randomly for a while before recovering to a new dipolar state. Half of the time new state is reversed from the original.

@ChrisDaviesGeo @RoyalAstroSoc @UniversityLeeds @J_M_Kendall Congrats! Well deserved.
