🌊 Watch live dive now @oceannetworks.ca We are testing equipment at a deep sea (~2700 m) bore hole in the ocean crust. The equipment will sample fluids from the borehole. The ingenious "ferris wheel" shows us fluid is moving through & out of the system #ONCabyss www.oceannetworks.ca/expeditions/...

Beneath the Pacific, Earth’s molten core changed direction in 2010—and scientists are still trying to understand why.

Using data including ESA’s Swarm and CryoSat missions, researchers traced this unexpected shift, offering new insights into our magnetic field:

Insights into Earth’s molten outer core from space
The liquid iron in Earth’s outer core doesn’t always behave as expected. When it changed direction in an unexplained way, ESA satellites provided data on the direction of flow, helping scientists gain...
