UCLA seminar

C.B. gives seismology seminar at UCLA on “Changes in seismic anisotropy at the mantle transition zone boundaries” Abstract: The mantle transition zone (MTZ) is defined by discontinuities in seismic wave velocities at 410 km and 670 km depth that mostly result from phase changes in the olivine structure. Because the MTZ is believed to play …
