Description

Echoes from the Planetary Cores: Seismic Insights into Deep Worlds. This Laureate Fellowship seeks to unlock the secrets of the Earth's core—a hidden time capsule and the vital thermal engine and magnetic heartbeat of our planet. Using cutting-edge imaging techniques and new data, it will elucidate the core's interior and its critical connections with the Earth's upper layers and magnetic fields—all fundamental for sustaining life. As interplanetary missions rapidly progress, extending our understanding of the Moon, Mars, and icy moons is imperative. Advancing this research at this crucial moment will accelerate the development of a skilled STEM workforce, securing Australia's position as a leader in scientific research: from the depths of our own planet to the farthest reaches of the solar system.. Scheme: Australian Laureate Fellowships. Field: 3706 - Geophysics. Lead: Prof Hrvoje Tkalcic
