Abstract: Abstract Seismic tomography resolves anomalies interpreted as oceanic lithosphere subducted deep into Earth's lower mantle. However, the fate of the compositionally distinct oceanic crust that is part of the lithosphere is poorly constrained but provides… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pepi.2017.05.005
Abstract: Abstract Seismic anisotropy has been found in many regions of the Earth's interior. Its presence in the Earth's crust has been known since the 19th century, and is due in part to the alignment of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nsr/nwab020
Abstract: During Earth’s 4.6-billion-year history, its surface has experienced environmental changes that drastically impacted habitability.The changes have beenmostly attributed to near-surface processes or astronomical events with little consideration of Earth’s deep interior. Recent progresses in high-pressure… read more here.
