... The α–β and the γ-pv+mw transitions are associated with a change in ρ, vp, vs on the order of 5-10%, the changes are smaller for the β-γ-transition. The transition pressure of the two main phase changes corresponds to a depth of ≈ 410 km and 660 km, respectively. The seismic discontinuities at these ...

A simple approach to the joint inversion of seismic body and surface
... inversions have been done on a global scale for some time [e.g., Antolik et al., 2003], however, different issues exist for regional-scale joint inversions since body waves are typically demeaned first. The simplest approach is to augment relative tomography results by adding a 1-D structure extract ...
