<p><b>Core-Mantle Co-Evolution</b> <p>An Interdisciplinary Approach <p>The Earth’s deep interior is difficult to study directly but recent technological advances have enabled new observations, experiments, analysis, and simulations to better understand deep Earth processes. <p><i>Core-Mantle Co-Evolution: An Interdisciplinary Approach </i>seeks to address some of the major unsolved issues around the core-mantle interaction and co-evolution. It provides the latest insights into dynamics, structure, and evolution in the core-mantle boundary region. <p><b>Volume highlights include:</b> <ul><li>Latest technological advances in high pressure experiments and their application to understanding the mineral physical properties and stability of phases in deep Earth</li> <li>Recent progress in observational seismology, geochemical analysis, geoneutrino experiments, and numerical modeling for understanding the heterogeneity of the lower mantle</li> <li>Theoretical investigations on thermal-chemical evolution of Earth’s mantle and core</li> <li>Exploring thermal-chemical-mechanical-electromagnetic interactions in the core-mantle boundary regions</li></ul> <p><i>The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.</i>
