Project Title

Tomographic Imaging of the Western Pacific

Brief Description for General Publications

Tomographic imaging of the Western Pacific Region was performed based on the world-wide seismic data composed by travel-time and path of seismic rays. The purpose of this study was to estimate high-resolution structure of the Earth's mantle and to map subducting lithosphere at the plate boundaries. This information can improve our understanding about physical properties of the Earth's interior and tectonic fabric of the Western Pacific.
