Seismic Evidence for a Hot Mantle Transition Zone Beneath the Indian Ocean Geoid Low

Abstract The Indian Ocean Geoid Low (IOGL) is the most prominent geoid anomaly (−106 m) on the globe, whose origin remains elusive. In the present study, we investigate the mantle transition zone (MTZ) structure beneath the region using P receiver functions (PRFs), to examine its role in the genesis...
