Using UPFLOW ocean bottom seismometer (OBS) dataset to constrain mantle upwelling beneath the Azores, Madeira, and Canary Islands.
PhD project title:
High Resolution Surface Wave Tomography beneath the Macaronesian Archipelagos
Project description:
Upward mantle flow is key to understand global mantle geodynamics yet its imaging remains challenging due to poor station coverage, low velocity contrasts and limited lateral dimensions. In this study the novel UPFLOW ocean bottom seismometer (OBS) dataset is utilized to construct tomographic models of isotropic velocity variations and radial anisotropy, aiming to constrain mantle upwelling beneath the Azores, Madeira, and Canary Islands.
