Les Mystères du champ magnétique

The Geodynamo team studies the magnetic field of the Earth and the physics of the Earth core.
To achieve this, we use:
– analogic experiments (like DTS) with global rotation and/or liquid sodium.
– Innovative inversion techniques to determine flow in Earth’s core from magnetic field measurements.
– direct numerical simulations and theoretical models.
The Academy of Sciences has awarded the prix Ampère de l’Electricité de France 2021 to the geodynamo team.
