Mineralogy and elasticity of the oceanic upper mantle: Origin of the low‐velocity zone (2005, background): “Further elucidation of the origins of the high attenuation in the low velocity zone will come from experimental measurements of the effect of partial melt [Jackson et al., 2004], pressure, and water content, and other variables on attenuation and dispersion within the seismic band.”
On the origin of the asthenosphere (2012, background): “…completely wet grain-boundaries under the shallow asthenosphere conditions, the influence of a small amount of partial melting on mechanical properties is only modest and cannot explain a large velocity drop (Kohlstedt, 2002; Takei, 2002) (see also Jackson et al., 2004; McCarthy et al., in press).”
