In the last several years an important new finding has been unveiled by French geophysicists from seismological evidence and theoretical and laboratory arguments from fluid dynamics that there exists a strong East-West hemi-spherical asymmetry on the inner-outer core boundary, due to melting caused by long-wavelength movement. Such a discovery has a profound impact in many branches of geophysics and also applied mathematics because of symmetry breaking and challenges in normal-mode theory. The purpose of this workshop is to gather experts drawn from various fields in order to provide a common forum for exchange of information.
