Spurious Low Velocity Zones in Joint Inversions of Surface Waves and Receiver Functions
Low-velocity layers within the crust can indicate the presence of melt and lithologic differences with implications for crustal composition and formation. Seismic wave conversions and reverberations across the base of the crust or intracrustal discontinuities, analysed using the receiver function method, can be used to constrain crustal layering. This is commonly accomplished by inverting receiver …

First Tomographic Model of the Inner Core!
With collaborators Scott Burdick at Wayne State University and Lauren Waszek at New Mexico State University — both former Maryland postdocs — we just published the first tomographic model of Earth’s inner core in Earth and Planetary Science Letters. Seismic body wave and normal mode analyses have revealed that the inner core is solid, strongly …
Improved Model of Outer Core 1D Structure
We have published a new model of 1D structure of the outer core, parameterized using two different equations of state: Irving_Cottaar_Lekic_2018 Brief highlights: We infer the seismic properties and equation of state of the outer core using Earth’s oscillations We address a longstanding discrepancy between high and low frequency investigations of the outer core Our work …
