Research number OND1332546
Data Supplier METIS Universiteit Utrecht

Abstract

Seismic velocities depend on temperature, pressure and composition inside the Earth. Aim/methods: A method of joint interpretation of P- and S-wave tomography is being developed using mineral physics data and an `equation of state? approach. The thermodynamic parametrisation will allow a natural integration of other geophysical data (e.g. gravity, geochemical, geomagnetic, flow models).
