Collaborative Research: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Constraining the Geodynamical Landscape of the Deep Mantle

Approximately 3000 km beneath Earth’s surface lies the boundary between the liquid iron core and the rocky mantle above. The nature of this region, the deep mantle and the shape of the boundary, remains mysterious, but it is important in that the heat emanating from this region powers mantle convection, the process that drives plate tectonics. If…
