Advances in mapping lowermost mantle convective flow with seismic anisotropy observations

J Wolf, M Li, MD Long, E Garnero - Reviews of Geophysics, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Convective flow in the deep mantle controls Earth's dynamic evolution, influences plate
tectonics, and has shaped Earth's current surface features. Present and past convection …

Low-velocity heterogeneities redistributed by subducted material in the deepest mantle beneath North America

J Wolf, M Li, MD Long - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2024 - Elsevier
The origins and composition of seismic low-velocity heterogeneities atop the core-mantle
boundary (CMB) remain poorly understood. It is also debated whether they are static …

ScS shear-wave splitting in the lowermost mantle: Practical challenges and new global measurements

J Wolf, MD Long - Seismica, 2024 - seismica.library.mcgill.ca
Many regions of the Earth's mantle are seismically anisotropic, including portions of the
lowermost mantle, which may indicate deformation due to convective flow. The splitting of …
