New paper alert!

In this new GJI paper, led by Emile Serra in Strasbourg, we image the upper mantle and mantle transition zone under Indonesia. By utilising the Backus-Gilbert SOLA method, we develop seismic velocity models with quantified resolution and uncertainties.

New paper alert on the mineralogy of the deep mantle led by Justin Leung at @oxuniearthsci.bsky.social. Justin used mineral physics modelling to interpret the seismic models developed by former PhD student Federica Restelli derived from normal mode observations

Interested in constraining properties of the Earth, whether this is the S-wave velocity at depth, the topography of the core, or just a whole mantle model? Then take a look at our newest paper in GJI (doi.org/10.1093/gji/...), led by PhD student Marin Adrian Mag from Oxford Earth Sciences.

Seismology contribution to the departmental Christmas cake competition: Bake, Cake, Quake, Shake! Our conclusion, fondant is a pretty good material for making buildings stay up :-)

Congratulations to Dr Restelli from Royal Holloway for successfully defending her PhD thesis on normal mode studies of the (an)isotropic structure of the mantle! Amazing work, despite the pandemic and me disappearing twice! Many thanks to Jess Iriving & James Hammond for examining!
