Welcome to the Geophysics Group, where research focuses on the structure, physical properties and dynamics of the Earth and planets. Graduate study in geophysics may be done either with faculty advisors in the Physics program (Cormier) or the Geoscience program (Liu). Our group is an active member of NSF sponsored consortia in seismology (IRIS) and geophysical software (CIG). Recent research includes:
Deep Earth Structure
Inner core: The solidification of Earth’s inner core drives fluid motion in the electrically conducting metallic outer core, creating and sustaining Earth’s magnetic field. We are using seismic waves interacting with the boundary of the inner core to determine the detailed elastic structure of the inner core boundary. Knowledge of this structure will help constrain the processes of inner core solidification and heat transport in Earth’s deep interior in their relation to the temporal and spatial variations in Earth’s magnetic field.
Mantle: The mineralogy and lattice structure of Earth’s mantle exhibits changes both vertically and laterally, affecting seismic waveforms and the coherence of seismic body waves recorded by surface arrays of seismometers through focusing, defocusing, and scattering. We are extending a method of inverting amplitude and travel time coherence of seismic body waves to reveal the majority of mineral lattice changes predicted for the silicate minerals composing Earth’s mantle.
