Seismic, petrological and geodynamical constraints on thermal and compositional structure of the upper mantle: global thermochemical models

F Cammarano, P Tackley… - Geophysical Journal …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Mapping the thermal and compositional structure of the upper mantle requires a combined
interpretation of geophysical and petrological observations. Based on current knowledge of …

On mantle chemical and thermal heterogeneities and anisotropy as mapped by inversion of global surface wave data

A Khan, L Boschi, JAD Connolly - Journal of Geophysical …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
We invert global observations of fundamental and higher‐order Love and Rayleigh surface
wave dispersion data jointly at selected locations for 1‐D radial profiles of Earth's mantle …

Analysis of ultrasonic waves propagating in a bone plate over a water half-space with and without overlying soft tissue

TNHT Tran, L Stieglitz, YJ Gu, LH Le - Ultrasound in medicine & biology, 2013 - Elsevier
Recent in vitro studies have shown that guided waves can characterize bone properties.
However, for clinical applications to be viable, the soft-tissue layer should be considered …

Surface wave tomography: global membrane waves and adjoint methods

D Peter, C Tape, L Boschi… - Geophysical Journal …, 2007 - academic.oup.com
We implement the wave equation on a spherical membrane, with a finite-difference
algorithm that accounts for finite-frequency effects in the smooth-Earth approximation, and …

Effect of higher-mode interference on measurements and models of fundamental-mode surface-wave dispersion

M Nettles, AM Dziewoński - Bulletin of the Seismological …, 2011 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Observations of fundamental-mode Love-and Rayleigh-wave dispersion provide some of
the strongest constraints on the elastic structure of the upper mantle including lateral …

Surface wave tomography in the European and Mediterranean region

R Schivardi, A Morelli - Geophysical Journal International, 2009 - academic.oup.com
We present a new surface-wave tomographic study of the broad European and
Mediterranean region. Our goal is to enhance the resolution of previously published group …

Global multiresolution models of surface wave propagation: comparing equivalently regularized Born and ray theoretical solutions

L Boschi - Geophysical Journal International, 2006 - academic.oup.com
I invert a large set of teleseismic phase-anomaly observations, to derive tomographic maps
of fundamental-mode surface wave phase velocity, first via ray theory, then accounting for …

Radial anisotropy and prior petrological constraints: A comparative study

C Beghein - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Radial seismic anisotropy models are traditionally obtained using empirical constraints
based on laboratory experiments and petrological considerations. We tested the hypothesis …

Can the Earth's harmonic spectrum be derived directly from the stochastic inversion of global travel-time data?

S Della Mora, L Boschi - Annals of Geophysics, 2014 - annalsofgeophysics.eu
A set of seismic observations which all sample the same structure in the same way should
have zero variance. This is naturally the case if all sources are in the same place, and the …

Beyond tomography: New insights in global seismic imaging

S Della Mora - 2012 - research-collection.ethz.ch
In seismology, earthquakes can be used to explore the inner structure of our planet, in the
same way as X-rays are employed in medical tomography to analyse the interior of the …
