Broadband Seismic Deployments for Imaging the Upper Mantle Structure in the Lützow-Holm Bay Region, East Antarctica

open access: yesInternational Journal of Geophysics, 2011
Broadband seismic deployments have been carried out in the Lützow-Holm Bay region (LHB), Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. The recorded teleseismic and local events are of sufficient quality to image the structure and dynamics of the crust and mantle

Stagnant forearc mantle wedge inferred from mapping of shear-wave anisotropy using S-net seafloor seismometers

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Knowledge of shear-wave anisotropy is important to understanding the structure and dynamics of the subduction zone mantle wedge. Here, the authors find unambiguous evidence that forearc anisotropy resides in the upper-plate crust, while weak anisotropy ...

Thermoelastic Properties of Ringwoodite [Fe_x,Mg_(1-x)]_2SiO_4: Its Relationship to the 520 km Seismic Discontinuity

open access: yes, 2012
We combine density functional theory (DFT) within the local density approximation (LDA), the quasiharmonic approximation (QHA), and a model vibrational density of states (VDoS) to calculate elastic moduli and sound velocities of gamma-[Fe_x,Mg_(1-x ...

Non-Linear Effects of Gravity Change on Mantle Dynamics

open access: yesGeosciences
Starting from observed variations of the length of day in the past 2.5 billion years, we calculate the corresponding gravity variation and evaluate the possible effects that such variation would have induced on the lithosphere and on mantle convection ...

Fluid Dynamics of Mantle Plumes

open access: yes, 2007
A ‘hotspot’ (Wilson 1963) is a long-term source of volcanism which is fixed relative to the plate overriding it. Common signatures of hotspots include a bathymetric swell and an associated gravity anomaly; basalt geochemistry different from normal mid-ocean ridge basalts; and volcanic chains with a clear age progression parallel to the plate motion, in

Report of the panel on earth structure and dynamics, section 6 [PDF]

open access: yes
The panel identified problems related to the dynamics of the core and mantle that should be addressed by NASA programs. They include investigating the geodynamo based on observations of the Earth's magnetic field, determining the rheology of the mantle ...

Robust β‐myrcene block copolymer elastomeric vitrimers

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Myrcene‐based vitrimeric elastomers were compared: statistical (poly(styrene‐stat‐myrcene‐stat‐AAEMA)] versus ‘hard–soft’ diblock (poly(styrene)‐block‐poly(myrcene‐co‐AAEMA)). The diblock's ability to anchor the glassy poly(styrene) blocks in a self‐assembled microstructure was effective – leading to four times higher tensile stress and ten times ...

MANTLE WEDGE DYNAMICS

open access: yes, 2007
[1] In the Apennines subduction (Italy), earthquakes mainly occur within the overriding plate, along the chain axis. The events concentrate in the upper 15 km of the crust above the mantle wedge, and focal solutions indicate normal faulting. In the foreland, the seismogenic volume affects the upper 35 km of the crust.

Vesicularity, bubble formation and noble gas fractionation during MORB degassing

open access: yes, 2013
The objective of this study is to use molecular dynamics simulation (MD) to evaluate the vesicularity and noble gas fractionation, and to shed light on bubble formation during MORB degassing.
