Converted and multiply reflected phases from teleseismic events are routinely used to create
structural images of the crust–mantle boundary (Moho) and the elasticity contrasts within …

S travel-time tomography including SKS information out to 105◦, provides tomographic
images with improved rendition of heterogeneity in the lower mantle. The three-dimensional …

Even a casual glance at topographical and geological maps [HN1] reveals striking differences
between continents and oceans. The continents stand on average 4.6 km higher than the …

The Australian continent is well placed relative to world seismicity for the study of the deep
interior of the Earth, but the number of permanent seismic stations with high quality recording …

The viscosity structure of Earth’s deep mantle affects the thermal evolution of Earth, the
ascent of mantle plumes, settling of subducted oceanic lithosphere, and the mixing of …

This dissertation examines ambient noise tomography performed at Mount St. Helens volcano
in Washington state, Cascadia subduction zone in central Oregon, and the San Jacinto …

A shear-wave splitting analysis was determined to observe anisotropic structures of an upper
mantle layer beneath Sumatra. The data were collected from 35 BMKG stations with the …

This dissertation presents an analysis of long period seismic travel time data which are
used to constrain the large scale velocity structure of Earth. Specifically, we study the 3-D …

Phase relations in the system MgO‐SiO 2 with low volatile contents of H 2 O, F 2 , and Cl 2
were experimentally investigated at 100–234 kbar pressures and 850 –2050C temperatures …
