Computer Simulations of Geomagnetic Field Reversals

Dr. Gary Glatzmaier of the University of California, Santa Cruz will present three-dimensional, time-dependent computer simulations of the geodynamo which help us understand the generation of the Earth's magnetic field in the outerfluid core, the super-rotation of the solid inner core, and magnetic dipole reversals.
