Inge Lehmann: the woman who discovered the Earth's inner core
While comparing data on the event Lehmann noticed that some seismic waves were bouncing off a boundary within the earth's core and being detected in the shadow zone.
Her work put forward that this seismic discontinuity was due to an inner core made of different material. Her findings were quickly accepted by the scientific community.
Previously scientists thought that the Earth was comprised of a single molten sphere rather than both inner and outer cores.
