Shear wave splitting measurements now allow us to examine deformation in the lithosphere
and upper asthenosphere with lateral resolution< 50 km. In an anisotropic medium, one …

We made a region‐by‐region examination of subducted slab images along the circum‐
Pacific for some of the recent global mantle tomographic models, specifically for two high …

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 …

Enlarged and fully updated, this new edition takes into account the considerable
experimental and theoretical progress recently made in the field. Introduction to the Physics …

Seismic tomography based on P-wave travel times and improved earthquake locations
provides further evidence for mantle-wide convective flow. The use of body waves makes it …

We document our tomographic method and present a new global model of three‐
dimensional (3‐D) variations in mantle P wave velocity. The model is parameterized by …

For decades there has been a vigorous debate about the depth extent of continental roots,.
The analysis of heat-flow, mantle-xenolith and electrical-conductivity data all indicate that …

Presenting a coherent synthesis of lithosphere studies, this book covers a range of
geophysical methods (seismic reflection, refraction, and receiver function methods; elastic …

The anisotropic single crystal seismic properties are reviewed in the light of recent
experimental and theoretical determinations. Although considerable progress has been …

Tomographic imaging indicates that slabs of subducted lithosphere can sink deep into
Earth's lower mantle. The view that convective flow is stratified at 660-kilometer depth and …
