Using integrated seismological techniques such as shear-wave splitting, traveltime tomography to explore the seismic structure of the Earth and understand its geological processes. Current study region is western USA, a tectonically active region. We want understand its evolution as a whole system. We have been building high resolution velocity models beneath this region, which can therefore provide important clues to mantle convection processes, e.g., the subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate, the upwelling of the Yellowstone plume, and the delamination of the Wallowa plutonic roots, etc.
