The project 'EARTH CORE STRUCTURE', funded by the European Research Council (ERC), has greatly improved the knowledge we have of the inside of our planet by determining a new method to understand its structure. The method uses knowledge from different disciplines and has helped scientists paint a picture of the Earth's core - more comprehensive than ever before.
It includes the discovery that the core is made of two distinct hemispheres as different as the oceanic regions are to the continental regions on the Earth's surface.
