Plume Structure and Mantle Layering Beneath the South Pacific: Modeling Teleseismic Wavefo — NSF Award to Princeton University (NJ
Besides formidable hazards to humans, earthquakes are sources of energy that help us image the Earth’s interior. Earth is a dynamic planet, its interior always in convective motion, and to understand it as a system, seismologists mine the information contained in the measurement of earthquake waves recorded by seismome

| Abstract | Besides formidable hazards to humans, earthquakes are sources of energy that help us image the Earth’s interior. Earth is a dynamic planet, its interior always in convective motion, and to understand it as a system, seismologists mine the information contained in the measurement of earthquake waves recorded by seismometers across the globe. An area of specific interest is Earth’s mantle below the Pacific, which is strewn with volcanoes, most of them underwater, but many present as oceanic island |
