Inferring internal properties of Earth's core dynamics and their evolution from surface observations and a numerical geodynamo model

Over the past decades, direct three-dimensional numerical modelling has been successfully used to reproduce the main features of the geodynamo. Here we report on efforts to solve the associated inverse problem, aiming at inferring the underlying properties of the system from the sole knowledge of su...
