What Can Seismology Say About Hot Spots?
نویسنده
چکیده
Seismology offers the highest-resolution view of mantle structure. In the decades since Morgan [1971] first proposed deep-mantle plumes, seismologists have used increasingly sophisticated methods to look for evidence of such structures, but so far they have had little success. This abstract outlines the relevant seismological methods for non-specialists and summarizes the current state of knowledge about structure beneath hot spots, to set the stage for the seismological component of this conference.

Combining seismology and spectropolarimetry of hot stars
Asteroseismology and spectropolarimetry have allowed us to progress significantly in our understanding of the physics of hot stars over the last decade. It is now possible to combine these two techniques to learn even more information about hot stars and constrain their models. While only a few magnetic pulsating hot stars are known as of today and have been studied with both seismology and spe...
متن کاملThe dynamics of robbery and violence hot spots
This paper examines how hot spots shift by hour of day and day of week. Hot spot analysis is more likely to have a substantial impact on crime patterns if spatiotemporal shifts are incorporated into the crime analysis process. Even in some of the highest crime neighborhoods in Bronx County (NY), not all micro-level geographies (e.g. street segments and property lots) contain substantial (if any...
متن کاملAn Integrated Theory of Hot Spots Patrol Strategy : Implementing Prevention by Scaling Up and Feeding Back
In late 2013, Trinidad & Tobago Police Service conducted the first randomized experiment ever to test a hot spots patrol strategy across large areas, as distinct from testing extra patrols one hot spot at a time. The Hot Spots Patrol Strategy (HSPS) experiment required, and helped to refine, a formal theory of both the causes and effects of directed patrols in hot spots. This paper presents an ...
متن کاملHot Spots Analysis of Landscape Metrics and Runoff Landscape Index in Ardabil Province
Hot spots are often associated with places where an abnormal process has occurred. Accordingly, their identification can help experts and managers to scrutinize the state of health and sustainability, from an ecological point of view. The present study was therefore conducted to analyze the spatial autocorrelation and identify hot spots of 11 landscape metrics, the new Runoff Landscape Index (R...
متن کاملWhat Lies Beneath: Understanding Internet Congestion
Developing measurement tools that can concurrently monitor congested Internet links at a large scale would significantly help us understand how the Internet operates. While congestion at the Internet edge typically arises due to bottlenecks existent at a connection’s last mile, congestion in the core could be more complex. This is because it may depend upon internal network policies and hence c...
