Constraints on lower mantle physical properties from seismology and mineral physics

The ratio, v, of relative shear (S) to compressional (P) lateral seismic velocity variations is potentially an important constraint on the mineral physics of the Earth's lower mantle. Recent seismic results show that there is an increase in this ratio from 1.7 to 2.6 in the lower mantle to 2000...
