Recent studies on seismic imaging of the Northwest Pacific and East Asian region are reviewed. High-resolution tomographic images reveal significant lateral heterogeneities in …
On 30 May 2015, a powerful earthquake (EQ)(MW 7.9, Japan Meteorological Agency reported magnitude M8. 1) struck west of Japan's remote Ogasawara (Bonin) island chain …
As it descends into the Earth's mantle, the olivine that constitutes the lithosphere of subducting slabs transforms to its high-pressure polymorphs, wadsleyite and ringwoodite, in …
