Lowermost mantle anisotropy beneath the northwestern Pacific: Evidence from PcS, ScS, SKS, and SKKS phases
[1] In this study, we utilize data from broadband seismic stations of the Japanese F-net network to investigate anisotropic structure in the lowermost mantle beneath the northwestern Pacific. The comparison of shear wave splitting from phases that have similar paths in the upper mantle but different paths in the lowermost mantle, such as PcS/ScS or SKS/SKKS, can yield constraints on anisotropy ...
متن کاملSlab‐plume interaction beneath the Pacific Northwest
[1] The Pacific Northwest has undergone complex plate reorganization and intense tectono‐volcanic activity to the east during the Cenozoic (last 65 Ma). Here we show new high‐resolution tomographic images obtained using shear and compressional data from the ongoing USArray deployment that demonstrate first that there is a continuous, whole‐ mantle plume beneath the Yellowstone Snake River Plain...
متن کاملThe first stars, as seen by supercomputers
April 2011 Physics Today 51 Some 400 000 years after the Big Bang, the universe was cool enough that electrons and protons could come together to form neutral hydrogen. Through study of the cosmic microwave background radiation, cosmologists have gained an excellent understanding of the state of the universe at that “recombination” time. By the time the universe was 1 billion years old, it cont...
متن کاملThe Forest as Seen by its Trees
We consider estimating the density of points in a point process by a count of the number of points in a unit volume, and the bias that results when the volume is centered at a point of the point process rather than at a randomly chosen location.
