A Primer on Core Dynamics

Explore the fundamental principles of core dynamics in this 32-minute AGU conference talk. Delve into topics such as core flow, quasigeostrophic flow, and the dominance of rotation in planetary cores. Examine the effects of rotating convection and Joule heating, and compare rotating and non-rotating flows. Gain insights into gyroscopic motion and discover open questions in the field of core dynamics research.
