Using this approach, we obtain several features that we can now quantitatively interpret, including a subslab hot mantle upwelling beneath the Sumatra slab, while we find no evidence of slab holes under Java or East Sumbawa given the model resolution.

We use a number of metrics to select areas with the same local resolution for Vs and Vp. This allows us to obtain meaningful estimates of their ratio, with uncertainties estimated using the theoretical Hinkley distribution.

These findings are consistent with earlier work from 2018 (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...), but all has been done in a more rigorous approach (using new seismological estimates with uncertainties combined with updated mineral physics).
Constraints on the presence of post-perovskite in Earth's lowermost mantle from tomographic-geodynamic model comparisons
Lower mantle tomography models consistently feature an increase in the ratio of shear-wave velocity (VS) to compressional-wave velocity (VP) variation…

Using new mineral physics estimates, Justin found that a co-occurrence of bridgmanite and post-perovskite at the same depth fits the ratios and correlations of seismic velocities best, while iron-rich models can be ruled out based on the velocity amplitudes and their uncertainties.

By using Backus-Gilbert methods, we obtain models with uncertainty and resolution, allowing us to perform quantitative interpretations. Importantly, Federica developed models with the same resolution for Vs & Vp, making it possible to interpret their ratio. See: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Robust estimates of the ratio between S- and P-wave velocity anomalies in the Earth's mantle using normal modes
Seismic tomography allows us to image the interior of the Earth. In general, to determine the nature of seismic anomalies, constraints on more than on…
