Resolving Upper Mantle Seismic Structure Beneath the Pacific Northwest and Inferred Plume-Lithosphere Interactions During the Steens-Columbia River Flood Basalt Eruptions

Cenozoic tectonics of the Pacific Northwest (PNW) and the associated mantle structures are remarkable, the latter revealed by EarthScope seismic data. In this thesis we model teleseismic body waves constrained by ambient-noise surface waves and teleseismic receiver function analysis in order to reco...
