Seismic anisotropy and compositionally induced velocity anomalies in the lithosphere above mantle plumes: a petrological and microstructural study of mantle …
In addition to thermal erosion, plume/lithosphere interaction may induce significant changes
in the lithosphere chemical composition. To constrain the extent of this process in an …

South Pacific mantle plumes imaged by seismic observation on islands and seafloor
The South Pacific region is characterized by a broadly elevated seafloor known as the South
Pacific superswell. This region has a concentration of midplate volcanoes that experienced …
