Because of the different characteristics of seismic velocity and density sensitivity kernels for Rayleigh wave amplification and phase velocity, combining observations of surface-wave amplification with …
The life cycle of a continent is driven by the very dynamic lithosphere and asthenosphere system. The deformation associated with tectonic events, such as plate …
Much of what is known about Earth’s oceanic upper mantle comes from global seismic models or seismic studies of the Pacific. A comprehensive understanding of …
To image Earth structure and dynamics, seismologists employ measurements of the frequency-dependent propagation speeds of surface waves generated by earthquakes, which provide unique and critical …
