Geodynamics East Australian Volcanism – interaction of plumes and subduction remnants Eastern Australia hosts a wide range of volcanic edifices, ranging from localised outcrops to lava fields and central volcanoes, mostly older in the North, younger in the South. Here we discuss potential controlling mechanisms.
Geophysics Seismological Models, mineral physics and spin transitions in the lower mantle The dominant variation of the physical properties of the Earth is with depth, though complex 3-D structures are present in the top 1000 km and near the core-mantle boundary.
Seismology Imaging the full lithosphere with earthquake sources When the seismic waves from a distant earthquake arrive in the vicinity of a seismic recording station they interact with the local structure and produce a variety of minor contributions accompanying the main arrival of a seismic phase.
