The existence of mantle plumes was first proposed in the 1970s to explain intra-plate,
hotspot volcanism, yet owing to difficulties in resolving mantle upwellings with geophysical …

Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

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 …

A new P wave tomographic model of the mantle was constructed using more than 10 million
travel times. The finite‐frequency effect of seismic rays was taken into account by calculating …

The rotation of the Earth or Earth rotation, respectively, specifies the spatiotemporal change
of the Earth rotation vector. The direction of the Earth rotation vector corresponds to the …

As subducting plates reach the base of the upper mantle, some appear to flatten and
stagnate, while others seemingly go through unimpeded. This variable resistance to slab …

A plate tectonic model for the Cenozoic development of the region of SE Asia and the SW
Pacific is presented and its implications are discussed. The model is accompanied by …

Global mean sea level is a key component within the fields of climate and oceanographic
modelling in the Anthropocene. Hence, an improved understanding of eustatic sea level in …
