Globally distributed subducted materials along the Earth's core-mantle boundary: Implications for ultralow velocity zones
Ultralow velocity zones (ULVZs) are the most anomalous structures within the Earth's
interior; however, given the wide range of associated characteristics (thickness and …

Ultralow velocity zone locations: A global assessment
We have compiled all previous ultralow velocity zone (ULVZ) studies, and digitized their
core‐mantle boundary (CMB) sampling locations. For studies that presented sampling …

A geodynamic and mineral physics model of a solid-state ultralow-velocity zone
Recent results (Wicks et al., 2010) suggest that a mixture of iron-enriched (Mg, Fe) O and
ambient mantle is consistent with wavespeed reductions and density increases inferred for …

The morphology, evolution and seismic visibility of partial melt at the core–mantle boundary: implications for ULVZs
Seismic observations indicate that the lowermost mantle above the core–mantle boundary
(CMB) is strongly heterogeneous. Body waves reveal a variety of ultra-low velocity zones …

Intermittent and lateral varying ULVZ structure at the northeastern margin of the Pacific LLSVP
Thin patches with ultralow velocities have been proposed to exist at the core‐mantle
boundary (CMB). The detection and map** of ultralow velocity zones (ULVZs) are difficult …
