Magnetic Helicity and the Geodynamo

We present theoretical and computational results in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence that we feel are essential to understanding the geodynamo. These results are based on a mathematical model that focuses on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, but ignores compressibility and thermal effects, as well...
