Constraints on Seismic Anisotropy in the Mantle Transition Zone from Long-Period SS Precursors

Huang, Quancheng; Schmerr, Nicholas; Waszek, Lauren; Beghein, Caroline (2019)

The mantle transition zone (MTZ) of Earth is demarcated by solid-to-solid phase changes of the mineral olivine that produce seismic discontinuities at 410 and 660 km depths. Mineral physics experiments predict that wadsleyite ...
