Inversion of the geomagnetic secular variation: uniqueness and feasibility

The inversion problem of the geomagnetic secular variation, that is the recovery of the electrical conductivity distribution of the earth's lower mantle from the attenuation of the magnetic field across the lower mantle, is shown to have a unique solution. This implies that the electrical condu...
