Seismic tomography reveals 2 extensive regions in the lowermost mantle, beneath Africa
and the Pacific, that exhibit lower-than-average seismic wave speeds. These regions have …

Convective flow in the deep mantle controls Earth's dynamic evolution, influences plate
tectonics, and has shaped Earth's current surface features. Present and past convection …

To better understand the subsurface behavior of subducting slabs and their relation to the
tectonic evolution of the overriding plate, we conduct a full waveform inversion on a large …

Building on global adjoint tomography model GLAD-M15, we present transversely isotropic
global model GLAD-M25, which is the result of 10 quasi-Newton tomographic iterations with …

The rapid expansion of broad-band seismic networks over the last decade has paved the
way for a new generation of global tomographic models. Significantly improved resolution of …

We have developed model S40RTS of shear-velocity variation in Earth's mantle using a new
collection of Rayleigh wave phase velocity, teleseismic body-wave traveltime and normal …

Whether the two large low–shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs) at the base of Earth's mantle
are wide compact structures extending thousands of kilometers upward or bundles of distinct …

We present the first-generation global tomographic model constructed based on adjoint
tomography, an iterative full-waveform inversion technique. Synthetic seismograms were …

The radially anisotropic shear velocity structure of the Earth's mantle provides a critical
window on the interior dynamics of the planet, with isotropic variations that are interpreted in …

Long-standing debates exist over the timing and mechanism of uplift of the Tibetan Plateau
and, more specifically, over the connection between lithospheric evolution and surface …
