Globally distributed subducted materials along the Earth's core-mantle boundary: Implications for ultralow velocity zones

SE Hansen, EJ Garnero, M Li, SH Shim, S Rost - Science Advances, 2023 - science.org
Ultralow velocity zones (ULVZs) are the most anomalous structures within the Earth's
interior; however, given the wide range of associated characteristics (thickness and …

The cycling of subducted oceanic crust in the Earth's deep mantle

M Li - Mantle convection and surface expressions, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The oceanic crust is created at mid‐ocean ridges and returned to the Earth's deep mantle at
subduction zones. A clear picture on the dynamics and distribution of the subducted oceanic …

Velocity and density characteristics of subducted oceanic crust and the origin of lower-mantle heterogeneities

W Wang, Y Xu, D Sun, S Ni, R Wentzcovitch… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Seismic heterogeneities detected in the lower mantle were proposed to be related to
subducted oceanic crust. However, the velocity and density of subducted oceanic crust at …

Variable distribution of subducted oceanic crust beneath subduction regions of the lowermost mantle

M Li - Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2023 - Elsevier
Subducted oceanic crust (SOC) is one of the major sources of chemical heterogeneity in
Earth's mantle. Previous geodynamic modeling studies have shown that SOC in the …

Dynamical links between small-and large-scale mantle heterogeneity: Seismological evidence

DA Frost, EJ Garnero, S Rost - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2018 - Elsevier
Abstract We identify PKP• PKP scattered waves (also known as P′• P′) from earthquakes
recorded at small-aperture seismic arrays at distances less than 65°. P′• P′ energy travels …

Investigating ultra‐low velocity zones as sources of PKP scattering beneath North America and the western Pacific Ocean: Potential links to subducted oceanic crust

MS Thorne, S Pachhai, M Li, J Ward, S Rost - AGU Advances, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Seismic energy arriving before the compressional (P) wave passing through the core (PKP),
called PKP precursors, have been detected for decades, but the origin of those arrivals is …

Fine‐scale structure of Earth's deep mantle resolved through statistical analysis of Hawaiian basalt geochemistry

D Weis, LN Harrison, R McMillan… - Geochemistry …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Hawaiian volcanoes belong to two geographically and geochemically distinct trends, the
Loa and Kea trends. The cause of this dichotomy is still strongly debated. One of the …

The formation of hot thermal anomalies in cold subduction‐influenced regions of Earth's lowermost mantle

M Li - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The Earth's lowermost mantle is characterized by two large low shear velocity provinces
(LLSVPs). The regions outside the LLSVPs have been suggested to be strongly influenced …
