CRUST 5.1: A global crustal model at 5° × 5°
TL;DR: In this article, a new global model for the Earth's crust based on seismic refraction data published in the period 1948-1995 and a detailed compilation of ice and sediment thickness is presented.

The Relative Behavior of Shear Velocity, Bulk Sound Speed, and Compressional Velocity in the Mantle: Implications for Chemical and Thermal Structure
TL;DR: In this article, the relative amplitudes of compressional and shear velocity anomalies in the lower mantle are investigated and some robust patterns are beginning to emerge which allow us to identify regions of the lower lower mantle which are anomalous.

TL;DR: A global survey of airbursts of a kiloton or more is performed, and it is found that the number of impactors with diameters of tens of metres may be an order of magnitude higher than estimates based on other techniques, which suggests a non-equilibrium in the near-Earth asteroid population.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Shear-Velocity Model of the Mantle [and Discussion]
TL;DR: In this article, a new model of shear velocity structure in the mantle is presented to fit data-sets of absolute and differential body-wave travel times, surface-wave phase velocities over a broad range of frequencies, and structure coefficients of modes of free oscillation.
