Abstract

It is widely accepted that the Earth’s magnetic field is powered by a convection-driven dynamo operating in its liquid iron core. The twentieth century witnessed remarkable advances in the field of magnetohydro�dynamics, which eventually led to three-dimensional computer simulations of the geodynamo. In this review we look at the significant developments that shaped our present understanding of magnetic field generation in the Earth’s core. We also examine the successes and shortcomings of current geodynamo models.
