Inge Lehmann, a Danish seismologist and geophysicist, made a significant discovery in 1936 by identifying the solid inner core within the Earth’s molten outer core. This seismic discontinuity, found at depths of 190-250 km, is now known as the Lehmann discontinuity in her honor. Throughout her professional career, Lehmann made pioneering contributions to seismology research, establishing herself as a trailblazer in the field. Her work greatly enhanced our knowledge of the Earth’s structure and seismic behavior.
