Phase transformations in mantle mineralogies probably cause the transition zone seismic
discontinuities, nominally at 410, 520, and 660 km depth. Thermodynamic principles govern …

The upper mantle seismic discontinuities provide important constraints on models of mantle
composition and dynamics. New observations of re-flected and converted phases from the …

Seismic interferometry is an exciting new field in geophysics utilizing multiple scattering
events to provide unprecedented views of the Earth's subsurface. This is the first book to …

The rocks of the Indian subcontinent are last seen south of the Ganges before they plunge
beneath the Himalaya and the Tibetan plateau. They are next glimpsed in seismic reflection …

Crustal and upper-mantle seismic discontinuities beneath eastern Turkey are imaged using
teleseismic S-to-P converted phases. Three crustal phases are observed: the Moho with …

The formation of Archean crust appears to involve processes unique to early earth history.
Initial results from receiver function analysis of crustal structure beneath 81 broadband …

We present a detailed seismic study of the 660 km discontinuity beneath northeast China
using the receiver function technique. We use seismic data collected from 24 broadband …

An east–west trending, high-density seismic array was deployed along the eastern margin of
the Tibetan Plateau to investigate its eastward expansion. The 160 km long array spans the …

Large oscillations in the populations of Norwegian lemmings have mystified both
professional ecologists and lay public,,. Ecologists suspect that these oscillations are driven …

The 2015 Gorkha earthquake sequence provides an outstanding opportunity to better
characterize the geometry of the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT). To overcome limitations due …
