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 …

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 …

We present a novel method for joint inversion of receiver functions and surface wave
dispersion data, using a transdimensional Bayesian formulation. This class of algorithm …

A meaningful interpretation of seismic measurements requires a rigorous quantification of
the uncertainty. In an inverse problem, the data noise determines how accurately …

Hotspots are anomalous regions of volcanism at Earth's surface that show no obvious
association with tectonic plate boundaries. Classic examples include the Hawaiian …

Many intraplate volcanic provinces do not appear to originate from plate-boundary
processes or upwelling mantle plumes. Edge-driven convection (EDC), where a small-scale …

Traditional methods of imaging the Earth's subsurface using seismic waves require an
identifiable, impulsive source of seismic energy, for example an earthquake or explosive …

During the last 20 years, seismic tomography has frequently been used to provide
information on the structure of the lithosphere beneath the Australian continent. New …

Upper-mantle upwellings are often invoked as the cause of Cenozoic volcanism in the Ibero-
western Maghreb region. However, their nature, geometry and origin are unclear. This study …

We present a Bayesian tomography framework operating with prior-knowledge-based
parametrization that is accelerated by surrogate models. Standard high-fidelity forward …
