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 …

Compressional intracontinental orogens are major zones of crustal thickening produced at
large distances from active plate boundaries. Consequently, any account of their initiation …

Recent progress in numerical methods and computer science allows us today to simulate
the propagation of seismic waves through realistically heterogeneous Earth models with …

We present a full seismic waveform tomography for upper-mantle structure in the
Australasian region. Our method is based on spectral-element simulations of seismic wave …

The reversible jump algorithm is a statistical method for Bayesian inference with a variable
number of unknowns. Here, we apply this method to the seismic tomography problem. The …

The shear modulus and attenuation of pure and therefore genuinely melt-free polycrystalline
aggregates of Fo90 olivine have recently been measured over a wide range of mean grain …

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

We develop and apply a full waveform inversion method that incorporates seismic data on a
wide range of spatio-temporal scales, thereby constraining the details of both crustal and …

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

Sensitivity analysis with synthetic models is widely used in seismic tomography as a means
for assessing the spatial resolution of solutions produced by, in most cases, linear or …
