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 knowl...

Abstract Seismic attenuation and the associated quality factor ( Q ) have long been studied in various sub-disciplines of seismology, ranging from observational engineering seismology to near-surface geophysics soil/rock dynamics with particular emphasis on geotechnical earthquake seismology. Within broader framework seismic site characterization, experimental techniques adopted over years meas...

Seismology focuses on the study of earthquakes and associated phenomena to characterize seismic sources Earth structure, which both are immediate relevance society. This article is composed two independent views state integrated, coordinated, open, networked (ICON) principles (Goldman et al., 2021, https://doi.org/10.1029/2021eo153180) in seismology reflects opportunities challenges adopting th...

Solar neutrinos: where we are and what is next? We summarize the results of solar neutrino experiments and update a solar model independent analysis of solar neutrino data. We discuss the implications of helio-seismology on solar models and predicted solar neutrino fluxes. Finally , we discuss the potential of new experiments for detecting specific signatures of the proposed solutions to the so...
