The PI will use knowledge of the time-varying magnetic field               at the core-mantle boundary to further the understanding of the                 kinematics and dynamics of the secular variation, and to provide                useful constraints on theories of the geodynamo.  Specially, he                 will work in three areas:  1) the continuation of work on                       developing more reliable methods of determining the pattern of                  fluid flow at the top of the core, aiming, initially, to confirm                recent tentative findings concerning the dynamics of the flow; 2)               the continuation of forward modeling techniques providing simple                explanations of observed phenomena in the magnetic field; 3) and                the investigation of wave-like phenomena observed in the magnetic               field, and the development of new techniques for separating waves               from the background field.
