1 Reconstructing the Phanerozoic Geodynamo Whole-Earth approach (mantle + core + time) to geodynamo history CMB heat flux from two models of the Phanerozoic mantle: 1.Mantle convection with mobile plates and continents (model HF1 by Zhang & Zhong, 2011) 2.Present-day lower mantle seismic heterogeneity Core evolution determined by CMB heat flux, including a)Inner core growth b)Chemical differentiation (Fe-Le) c)CMB heterogeneity d) Tidal breaking (via increase in length of day) Calculate dynamo time average magnetic fields and polarity reversals over 5 Myr long stages Tune dynamos to present-day (0-5 Ma) reversal rate
