seismic tomography

The field was later refined and became known as seismic tomography.

The discovery was made using the relatively new technique of seismic tomography.

In general, the data used to identify possible slab windows comes from seismic tomography and heat flow studies.

Seismic tomography suggests that the Halmahera goes deeper to at least 400 km.

As stated above, seismic tomography is typically solved as an inverse problem.

Seismic tomography has helped detect subducted lithosphere in regions where there are no earthquakes.

Seismic tomography is a technique for imaging Earth's sub-surface characteristics in an effort to understand deep geologic structure.

Seismic tomography images have been cited as evidence for a number of mantle plumes in Earth's mantle.

Seismic tomography provides only the current velocity anomalies and all prior velocity structures are unknown.

Aeromagnetic surveys, seismic tomography, and other studies have also contributed to locating and understanding these faults.

In order to estimate P-wave velocity and further simplify seismic tomography, four main methods have been devised:

Some parts of this model have been updated by recent findings in mineral physics (see post-perovskite) and supplemented by seismic tomography.

Two- and three-dimensional imaging of the Earth's interior (seismic tomography) shows that there is a laterally varying density distribution throughout the mantle.

PREM has been widely used as the basis for seismic tomography and related global geophysical models.

Seismic methods, such as reflection seismology, seismic refraction, and seismic tomography.

Other seismic tomography has tantalizingly suggested three north-striking strands under Seattle, and a fourth just east of Lake Washington.

Seismic tomography helps constrain mantle velocity structure and aids in the understanding of chemical and geodynamic processes that are at work.

The most commonly cited seismic wave-speed images that are used to look for variations in regions where plumes have been proposed come from seismic tomography.

Processing readings from many seismometers using seismic tomography, seismologists have mapped the mantle of the earth to a resolution of several hundred kilometers.

However, seismic tomography rejects this hypothesis, as it shows that the plume beneath the Hawaii hotspot extends to the core-mantle boundary.

Seismic tomography shows that subducted oceanic slabs sink as far as the bottom of the mantle transition zone at 650 km depth.

Scientists identified the impact formation through analysis of shocked quartz grains from the area after a circular anomaly appeared in seismic tomography studies of the region.

A measuring method, seismic tomography, which is similar to C.T. scanning, uses the shock waves that the quakes generate to map structures deep in the earth.

In August 2009, Marcus Langseth was named in a Canadian lawsuit seeking to halt its seismic tomography experiment.
