Geophysics Seismological Models, mineral physics and spin transitions in the lower mantle The dominant variation of the physical properties of the Earth is with depth, though complex 3-D structures are present in the top 1000 km and near the core-mantle boundary.
Seismology Imaging the full lithosphere with earthquake sources When the seismic waves from a distant earthquake arrive in the vicinity of a seismic recording station they interact with the local structure and produce a variety of minor contributions accompanying the main arrival of a seismic phase.
