Abstract: Abstract We determine a new model of S-wave velocity (Vs) tomography beneath Mainland China and surrounding areas by inverting 321,666 S-wave arrival times from 15,618 events recorded by the China Seismic Network (CSN) and at… read more here.

Abstract: The thermochemical structure of lithospheric and asthenospheric mantle exert primary controls on surface topography and volcanic activity. Volcanic rock compositions and mantle seismic velocities provide indirect observations of this structure. Here, we compile and analyze… read more here.
