We have investigated the relationship between the lateral seismic structure in the mantle and the geological features associated with major mantle upwellings, the oceanic ridge system and hotspots. Using the technique of ...
We have attempted to infer details of the viscosity structure in the top 1000 km of the mantle from the geoid and tomographic structure beneath the oceans. In order to eliminate the gravity signal from problematic masses ...
In the framework of dynamical modelling of the geoid, we have estimated basic features of the radial profile of temperature in the mantle. The applied parameterization of the geotherm directly characterizes thermal boundary ...
