Geological and geodynamic models of the mantle often rely on joint interpretations of
published seismic tomography images and petrological/geochemical data. This approach …

Uncertainty exists in the configuration and extent of the Midcontinent Rift System (MRS)
because of deficiencies in geophysical data and limited information from outcrops and …

Presenting a coherent synthesis of lithosphere studies, this book covers a range of
geophysical methods (seismic reflection, refraction, and receiver function methods; elastic …

The deployment of USArray during the last decade has produced dense sampling of the
central part of the North American continent with broadband seismic data. Regional …

The goal of the present study is to extract non-thermal signal from seismic tomography
models in order to distinguish compositional variations in the continental lithosphere and to …

The Yellowstone hotspot, located in North America, is an intraplate source of magmatism the
cause of which is hotly debated. Some argue that a deep mantle plume sourced at the base …

USArray has facilitated significant advancement in tomographic models and methodologies.
