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.
