Effects of Phase Transitions on Mantle Convection ADS Classic is now deprecated. It will be
completely retired in October 2019. This page will automatically redirect to the new ADS interface …

▪ Abstract Although the temperature at the top of the lower mantle is well constrained by
phase equilibrium data for the transformation of transition zone minerals to the denser …

A new model of whole mantle P-wave tomography is determined with a novel approach. A
grid parameterization instead of blocks and spherical harmonics is adopted to express the …

In this article we first introduce the methodology of multiscale seismic tomography and the
way to interpret the obtained tomographic images, and then review the significant recent …

Numerical simulations in both two-and three-dimensions are performed to investigate the
hypothesis that D" is a thermo-chemical boundary layer. A layer of dense, compositionally …

The Tanlu fault zone is the most significant active fault in eastern China, which generated
the great 1668 Tancheng earthquake (M 8.5). It is still unclear whether or not there is a link …

The seismic models of three‐dimensional (3‐D) mantle heterogeneity may be interpreted in
terms of the density perturbations which drive mantle flow and thus provide important …

Mantle-wide heterogeneity is largely controlled by deeply penetrating thermal convective
currents. These thermal currents are likely to produce significant lateral variation in rheology …

The volume and location of subducted plate, since 130 Ma, are reconstructed from magnetic
anomalies and updated finite rotation parameters describing relative motions in the ocean …

We have studied the dynamical effects of a stratified viscosity profile on time-dependent
mantle circulations by using a 3D Boussinesq spherical-shell convection model. This …
