Assessing Mantle Velocity Uncertainty in Receiver-Function Imaging of the Transition Zone Using the Spectral Element Method

Explore advanced seismic imaging techniques in this 56-minute conference talk that examines how mantle velocity uncertainties affect receiver-function imaging of Earth's transition zone. Learn about the application of the Spectral Element Method to assess these uncertainties and understand their implications for geophysical interpretations. Discover how variations in mantle velocity models impact the accuracy of seismic wave propagation simulations and the resulting images of deep Earth structure. Gain insights into computational approaches for quantifying uncertainty in seismic imaging, with particular focus on the transition zone between the upper and lower mantle. Understand the challenges and methodological considerations involved in high-pressure mineral physics applications to geophysical problems, presented as part of the Workshop on High-Pressure Mineral Physics and Geophysics Applications.
