Using data from the EarthScope Transportable Array, we observed and modeled conversions of S waves to P waves across velocity contrasts within the lithosphere across the Western United States. You can read more about our findings in Lekic and Fischer, 2013 and Hopper et al. 2014, but this cartoon provides a nice summary:

Together with Barbara Romanowicz and Scott French at the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory, we have developed a new method for imaging the Earth’s interior at higher resolution. This method has yielded new images, published today in the journal Science, that reveal a previously unknown finger-like pattern of higher-than-average temperatures beneath the Earth’s oceans. The structure interacts
