A transdisciplinary and community-driven database to unravel subduction zone initiation
Subduction zones are pivotal for the recycling of Earth's outer layer into its interior. However,
the conditions under which new subduction zones initiate are enigmatic. Here, we …

Seismic tomography: a window into deep Earth
The goal of this paper is to provide an overview of the current state of the art in seismic
tomography, and trace its origins from pioneering work in the early 1970s to its present …

Dynamic strain determination using fibre-optic cables allows imaging of seismological and structural features
Natural hazard prediction and efficient crust exploration require dense seismic observations
both in time and space. Seismological techniques provide ground-motion data, whose …

A new global model for P wave speed variations in Earth's mantle
We document our tomographic method and present a new global model of three‐
dimensional (3‐D) variations in mantle P wave velocity. The model is parameterized by …

Geodynamics of the Yellowstone hotspot and mantle plume: Seismic and GPS imaging, kinematics, and mantle flow
Integration of geophysical and geological data show that the Yellowstone hotspot resulted
from a mantle plume interacting with the overriding North America plate, a process that has …

Subduction-triggered magmatic pulses: A new class of plumes?
A variety of atypical plume-like structures and focused upwellings that are not rooted in the
lower mantle have recently been discussed, and seismological imaging has shown …

Seismic tomography and the assessment of uncertainty
Seismic tomography is a powerful tool for illuminating Earth structure across a range of
scales, but the usefulness of any image that is generated by this method is dependent on …

Mantle provinces under North America from multifrequency P wave tomography
K Sigloch - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
This is a survey of mantle provinces (large‐scale seismic anomalies) under North America,
from the surface down to 1500–1800 km depth. The underlying P velocity model was …

Lithosphere–asthenosphere interaction beneath the western United States from the joint inversion of body-wave traveltimes and surface-wave phase velocities
The relation between the complex geological history of the western margin of the North
American plate and the processes in the mantle is still not fully documented and understood …
