The stable continents have a puzzling structure. Recent seismological studies have
revealed a marked drop in seismic velocity at middle-lithosphere depths, but a generally …

Presenting a coherent synthesis of lithosphere studies, this book covers a range of
geophysical methods (seismic reflection, refraction, and receiver function methods; elastic …

Hydrogen1 in Earth's interior is known to play a key role in a number of processes.
Consequently, inferring the distribution of hydrogen is a critical step in our study of dynamics …

The goal of the present study is to extract non-thermal signal from seismic tomography
models in order to distinguish compositional variations in the continental lithosphere and to …

A combined geophysical‐petrological methodology to study the thermal, compositional,
density, and seismological structure of lithospheric/sublithospheric domains is presented. A …

Traditional inversion techniques applied to the problem of characterizing the thermal and
compositional structure of the upper mantle are not well suited to deal with the nonlinearity …

Lighting up the magma plumbing system beneath a large igneous province (LIP) is
challenging because the complex magma migration paths are often covered by flood basalts …

A large data set of fundamental mode Rayleigh wave amplitudes is analyzed to derive a
new global three‐dimensional model of shear wave attenuation in the upper mantle. The …

This study presents a forward model to quantify the P‐wave velocity (VP), S‐wave velocity
(VS), and electrical conductivity (σ) of the solid‐liquid mixtures for a given set of pressure …

The chemical evolution of the Earth and the terrestrial planets is largely controlled by the
density of silicate melts. If melt density is higher than that of the surrounding solid …
