Seabed Seismographs Reveal Duration and Structure of Longest Runout Sediment Flows on Earth (2024)
Journal Article
Baker, M. L., Talling, P. J., Burnett, R., Pope, E. L., Ruffell, S. C., Urlaub, M., Clare, M. A., Jenkins, J., Dietze, M., Neasham, J., Silva Jacinto, R., Hage, S., Hasenhündl, M., Simmons, S. M., Heerema, C. J., Heijnen, M. S., Kunath, P., Cartigny, M. J. B., McGhee, C., & Parsons, D. R. (2024). Seabed Seismographs Reveal Duration and Structure of Longest Runout Sediment Flows on Earth. Geophysical Research Letters, 51(23), Article e2024GL111078. https://doi.org/10.1029/2024gl111078

Turbidity currents carve the deepest canyons on Earth, deposit its largest sediment accumulations, and break seabed telecommunication cables. Powerful canyon‐flushing turbidity currents break sensors placed in their path, making them notoriously chal...

Electrical resistivity tomography of a masonry bridge: assessing water infiltration on Prebends bridge, Durham, UK (2024)
Journal Article
Jones, L., Jenkins, J., Foltier, L., & Nielsen, S. (2024). Electrical resistivity tomography of a masonry bridge: assessing water infiltration on Prebends bridge, Durham, UK. Journal of Architectural Conservation, https://doi.org/10.1080/13556207.2024.2357501

Non-invasive imaging methods are a useful tool in informing conservation actions for historical buildings. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) is widely used in geophysics to image the subsurface but has been seldom used for non-invasive imaging...

Kilometer-scale structure on the core–mantle boundary near Hawaii (2022)
Journal Article
Li, Z., Leng, K., Jenkins, J., & Cottaar, S. (2022). Kilometer-scale structure on the core–mantle boundary near Hawaii. Nature Communications, 13(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-30502-5

The lowermost mantle right above the core-mantle boundary is highly heterogeneous containing multiple poorly understood seismic features. The smallest but most extreme heterogeneities yet observed are ‘Ultra-Low Velocity Zones’ (ULVZ). We exploit sei... Read More about Kilometer-scale structure on the core–mantle boundary near Hawaii.

A high-resolution map of Hawaiian ULVZ morphology from ScS phases (2021)
Journal Article
Jenkins, J., Mousavi, S., Li, Z., & Cottaar, S. (2021). A high-resolution map of Hawaiian ULVZ morphology from ScS phases. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 563, Article 116885. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2021.116885

We use core reflected ScS waves sensitive to a broad region of the core-mantle boundary beneath Hawaii to create the first high-resolution map of the Hawaiian ultralow-velocity zone (ULVZ). Positive ScS-S differential times are used to identify regio... Read More about A high-resolution map of Hawaiian ULVZ morphology from ScS phases.

Deep Earth explorers (2020)
Journal Article
Jenkins, J., Bartlet, J., & Cottaar, S. (2020). Deep Earth explorers. Astronomy and Geophysics, 61(4), 4.24–4.25. https://doi.org/10.1093/astrogeo/ataa055

The Cambridge Deep Earth Seismology group has an exhibition at the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge, aimed at increasing understanding of our planet and changing perceptions of geophysics – and geophysicists. Group members Jennifer Jenkins, Jess Bartlet an... Read More about Deep Earth explorers.

Seismic Tomographic Imaging of the Eastern Mediterranean Mantle: Implications for Terminal‐Stage Subduction, the Uplift of Anatolia, and the Development of the North Anatolian Fault (2020)
Journal Article
Kounoudis, R., Bastow, I., Ogden, C., Goes, S., Jenkins, J., Grant, B., & Braham, C. (2020). Seismic Tomographic Imaging of the Eastern Mediterranean Mantle: Implications for Terminal‐Stage Subduction, the Uplift of Anatolia, and the Development of the North Anatolian Fault. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 21(7), https://doi.org/10.1029/2020gc009009

The Eastern Mediterranean captures the east-west transition from active subduction of Earth's oldest oceanic lithosphere to continental collision, making it an ideal location to study terminal-stage subduction. Asthenospheric- or subduction-related p...
