- GyPSuM: A joint tomographic model of mantle density and seismic wave speeds (2010, background): “The discrepancy between the distributions of P- and Swave anomalies in the deep mantle is robust [Hernlund and Houser 2008] and persists after performing a joint inversion designed to reduce these effects.”
- Tomographic filtering of high‐resolution mantle circulation models: Can seismic heterogeneity be explained by temperature alone? (2009, background): “Recent studies point to the possibility that the anticorrelation of lower mantle shear and bulk sound velocity variations may be caused by phase heterogeneity associated with postperovskite [Hutko et al., 2008; Hernlund and Houser, 2008].”
- Morphology of seismically slow lower-mantle structures (2016, background): “The LLSVPs are characterized by an anticorrelation between bulk sound and shear wave speeds (Su & Dziewonski 1997; Masters et al. 2000; Hernlund & Houser 2008).”
- Dynamics and evolution of the deep mantle resulting from thermal, chemical, phase and melting effects (2012, background): “There is much uncertainty over these estimates, but they serve to show that the volume produced is substantial and easy enough to explain the seismologicallyinferred volume of the dense regions (Hernlund and Houser, 2008).”
- Reconciling dynamic and seismic models of Earth's lower mantle: The dominant role of thermal heterogeneity (2012, result): “Accordingly, our models and S40RTS are directly comparable in this figure.”
- Thermal versus elastic heterogeneity in high‐resolution mantle circulation models with pyrolite composition: High plume excess temperatures in the lowermost mantle (2009, background): “[2008] and Hernlund and Houser [2008] suggests that at least part of the observed anticorrelation of vs and vf, which is difficult to explain from a uniform composition, could be related to the occurrence of postperovskite.”
