Cooling of the oceanic lithosphere: new insights from 3D surface-wave tomography

I applied the 3D surface-wave tomography method I recently developped to fundamental Rayleigh-wave data to produce the Vsv structure of the uppermost mantle beneath the Pacific. I called this model SS3DPacific. This model comes with full 3D resolution and uncertainty thanks to the combination of finite-frequency theory and SOLA inversion. I belive this model provides new insights into the thermal structure of the oceanic lithosphere. Below is the poster I presented at the MODES workshop in Oxford (April 2025) and Imaging Planetary Solid Dynamics workshop in Cambridge (April 2025).

3D surface-wave tomography with full resolution and robust uncertainties

I am implementing the Backus-Gilbert SOLA inverse method to surface-wave tomography in a fully three-dimensional framework using finite-frequency. This will allow us to account for robust uncertainty and the full 3D resolution in surface-wave tomography. The testing phase is done in a synthetic world and we have polishing the our final model. Stay tuned!

Assessment of geodynamic predictions with tomographic observations

I am using the surface-wave SOLA tomography models that I build to assess geodynamical predictions, accounting for both resolution and uncertainty. This involves great collaborations with geodynamics colleagues in Cardiff (within the MC2 large NERC grant).
