This project investigates UltraLow Velocity Zones (ULVZs) at the Earth's core-mantle boundary, focusing on their internal structure and properties. By employing advanced computational models, it aims to understand the effects of partial melting and mineral composition on seismic wave behavior.
The interface between the Earth’s rocky mantle and molten outer core, located 2900 km below the surface, is marked by a patchwork of enigmatic structures.
These structures, revealed by anomalous reductions in the speed of traveling seismic waves, are characterized by high density, partial melting, and low topographic heights (10-40 km above the core-mantle boundary).
Due to the low seismic wave speeds, they are called UltraLow Velocity Zones (ULVZs).
Since their first discovery in the 90s, our un…
