Structure and dynamics of the Pacific upper mantle
… tomographic technique is employed to investigate the structure and dynamics of the Pacific upper mantle. We invert band-center travel times of ScS reverberations and frequency-dependent travel times of direct S phases, upper-mantle guided waves such as SS and SSS, and the R1 and G1 surface waves …

Seismic structure of the mantle beneath the Pacific Hemisphere
Aside from xenoliths, the Earth's mantle is a region that is inaccessible directly, leaving us with limited tools to investigate its characteristics indirectly. Seismology is a tool well-suited for this purpose, and has provided valuable insight regarding many fundamental processes occurring within …
