Geoscientists Create Deeper Look at Processes Below Earth’s Surface with 3D Images

Geoscientists at The University of Texas at Dallas recently used supercomputers to analyze massive amounts of earthquake data to generate high-resolution 3D images of the dynamic geological processes taking place far below the Earth’s surface. The research team created images of mantle flows in a subduction region under Central America and the Caribbean Sea using a computationally intensive technique called a full waveform inversion (FWI).
