Starting in May 2018, a volcano-tectonic crisis occurred in the vicinity of Mayotte, a volcanic
island in the Comoros Archipelago in the Mozambique Channel. The origin of the volcanism …

Ocean island volcanism provides a unique window into the nature of mantle composition,
dynamics and evolution. The four Macaronesian archipelagos–Cape Verde, the Canaries …

Résumé Teleseismic receiver-functions and Rayleigh-wave dispersion curves are jointly
inverted for quantifying S-wave velocity profiles beneath the active volcanic zone off …

We report in this study how ocean-bottom seismometers (OBS) can be used as passive
sonars to automatically detect, localize, and track moving acoustic sources at the ocean …

Mid-plate upward mantle flow is a key component of global mantle convection, but its
patterns are poorly constrained. Seismic anisotropy is the most direct way to infer mantle …

Volcanic hotspot islands are thought to be surface manifestations of mantle plumes that rise
from the core–mantle boundary. When mantle plumes approach the surface, their mostly …

Réunion Island in the western Indian Ocean is well known as one of the most active volcanic
hotspots on Earth. Its birth, Ma ago, created the Deccan volcanic traps in India (almost 2 …

Breakthroughs in understanding the structure and dynamics of our planet will strongly
depend upon instrumenting deep oceans. Progress has been made these last decades in …

Over the past few decades, azimuthal seismic anisotropy measurements have been widely
used proxy to study past and present‐day deformation of the lithosphere and to characterize …

Several interpretations of shear wave splitting measurements in East Africa have been
proposed, but a comprehensive understanding of seismic anisotropy is lacking vis-à-vis …
