Institution: ETH Zürich Open Until: 2017-10-31 The aim of this project is to investigate and characterize the nature of Earth’s mantle transition zone and the seismic discontinuities that bound it. While the transition zone is known to be bounded by the major seismic discontinuities (“410” and “660”), there are many fundamental questions that remain to be addressed. Among others, can the observed variations in transition topography be explained in terms of thermal perturbations only or are com… [more]
