The study of the Earth’s deep interior may be loosely defined as the study of those parts of the Earth that lie more than a thousand kilometres below the surface. These regions are obscured from direct view, but nevertheless a wealth of information about the deep interior has accumulated. Seismology, geomagnetism, the monitoring of the Earth’s rotation, and accurate measurements of the gravity field have all played a role in this development. This observational knowledge has been supplemented by experiments, some conducted in extreme conditions of pressure and temperature. Theoreticians are also involved in unravelling the mysteries of the Earth’s deep interior, both in building numerical models and in studying high-pressure physics. All this activity has brought together a multidisciplinary team of scientists, which was formalized into the SEDI (Study of the Earth’s Deep Interior) organization in 1987.
