Produced for the National Geographic Channel, this 2-hour special includes a segment that highlights the Transportable Array and seismic tomography. "X-Ray Earth" looks at how scientists are using technology and the most sophisticated tools to dissect the planet and provide a view that has never been seen before. The program features technologies like tomography, gravitational mapping, and spectroscopy to provide insights into Earth's systems. It also shows how nature is constructed with pattern and symmetry and how mathematics and nature are intricately tied together. Filmed at Transportable Array station J32A near Parkston, South Dakota, at other locations throughout the world, and enhanced with computer-generated imagery, "X-Ray Earth" reveals the extraordinary story of the world around us.

Space is limited. Reserve your Webinar seat now at: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/576730186 This webinar is sponsored by the USArray Transportable Array Working Group Speaker: Maureen Long - Yale University Abstract: The High Lava Plains (HLP) region of eastern and central Oregon has been the site of voluminous intraplate volcanism over the past ~17 Ma, but the causes of this volcanic activity remain poorly understood. Constraints on the pattern of mantle flow beneath the region can help to discriminate among the different models for HLP formation and evolution. Observations of seismic anisotropy and comparison with geodynamical models are consistent with mantle flow driven by slab rollback beneath the HLP. We observe striking lateral variations in the strength of anisotropy that may reflect differences in the degree or alignment of partial melt, or may reflect differences in the strength of olivine fabric controlled by temperature, mineralogy, and/or volatile content.
