How strongly do plumes influence Pacific seamount distribution? (2022)
Journal Article
Zhao, Y., Riel, B., Foulger, G., & Ding, W. (2022). How strongly do plumes influence Pacific seamount distribution?. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 595, Article 117786. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2022.117786

Seamounts are submarine volcanoes postulated to be formed either by hot mantle plumes rising from the deep mantle or by shallow, plate-related processes. However, the relative importance of these two mechanisms has not hitherto been quantified. In th... Read More about How strongly do plumes influence Pacific seamount distribution?.

Tracing Volatiles, Halogens, and Chalcophile Metals during Melt Evolution at the Tolbachik Monogenetic Field, Kamchatka. Journal of Petrology, 63(9), https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egac087

Melt storage and supply beneath arc volcanoes may be distributed between a central stratovolcano and wider fields of monogenetic cones, indicating complex shallow plumbing systems. However, the impact of such spatially variable magma storage conditio...

pyprop8: A lightweight code to simulate seismic observables in a layered half-space (2022)
Journal Article
Valentine, A. P., & Sambridge, M. (2022). pyprop8: A lightweight code to simulate seismic observables in a layered half-space. The Journal of Open Source Software, 7(76), Article 4217. https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.04217

The package pyprop8 enables calculation of the response of a 1-D layered halfspace to a seismic source, and also derivatives (‘sensitivity kernels’) of the wavefield with respect to source parameters. Seismograms, seismic spectra, and measures of sta... Read More about pyprop8: A lightweight code to simulate seismic observables in a layered half-space.

Realistic light-cone mocks are important in the clustering analyses of large galaxy surveys. For simulations where only the snapshots are available, it is common to create approximate light-cones by joining together the snapshots in spherical shells....
