Reconciling dynamic and seismic models of Earth's lower mantle: The dominant role of thermal heterogeneity
Two large low-shear-velocity provinces (LLSVPs) in the deep mantle beneath Africa and the
Pacific are generally interpreted as hot but chemically dense 'piles', which have remained …

SP12RTS: a degree-12 model of shear-and compressional-wave velocity for Earth's mantle
We present the new model SP12RTS of isotropic shear-wave (VS) and compressional-wave
(VP) velocity variations in the Earth's mantle. SP12RTS is derived using the same methods …

Seismological expression of the iron spin crossover in ferropericlase in the Earth's lower mantle
The two most abundant minerals in the Earth's lower mantle are bridgmanite and
ferropericlase. The bulk modulus of ferropericlase (Fp) softens as iron d-electrons transition …
