DOI: 10.1002/2017gl074996
Abstract: Geophysical tomographic studies traditionally exploit linear, damped least squares inversion methods. We demonstrate that the resulting models can be locally biased toward lower or higher amplitudes in regions of poor data illumination, potentially causing physical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2021.103727
Abstract: Abstract The driving mechanisms of Earth's climate system at a multi-Myr timescale have received considerable attention since the 1980's as they are deemed to control large-amplitude climatic variations that result in severe biogeochemical disruptions, major… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pepi.2019.106314
Abstract: Abstract Seismic tomography is a powerful tool for mapping the three-dimensional structure of the Earth's interior. Tomographic images obtained in the past four decades have greatly improved our understanding of the Earth's heterogeneous structure and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nsr/nwx130
Abstract: The Earth's deep interior is a hidden water reservoir on a par with the hydrosphere that is crucial for keeping the Earth as a habitable planet. In particular, nominally anhydrous minerals (NAMs) in the silicate… read more here.

DOI: 10.2138/gselements.16.3.167
Abstract: The interior of the Earth is an important reservoir for elements that are chemically bound in minerals, melts, and gases. Analyses of the proportions of redox-sensitive elements in ancient and contemporary natural rocks provide information… read more here.
