CAREER: Hypothesis Testing Mantle Structure with Probabilistic Tomography — NSF Award to Wayne State University (MI, $632,507)
Seismic tomography, which uses waves produced by earthquakes to create 3D models of deep Earth structure, is an indispensable tool for understanding the Earth's mantle. Tomographic models are used to address questions about Earth’s tectonic past, geodynamics, and the processes underlying natural hazards, in addition to

| Abstract | Seismic tomography, which uses waves produced by earthquakes to create 3D models of deep Earth structure, is an indispensable tool for understanding the Earth's mantle. Tomographic models are used to address questions about Earth’s tectonic past, geodynamics, and the processes underlying natural hazards, in addition to helping locate earthquakes and enforce test ban treaties. However, due to difficulty in estimating complex model uncertainties, these questions are met largely with qualitative an |
