Abstract: During the 1990s evidence has emerged from seismic data that the Earth's inner core may be rotating slightly faster than the mantle and crust. Estimates of the rate have been as high as 3° per year. The conclusion of the latest study, however, is that there is no, or very little, differential rotation.
