Collisional tectonics between the Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates from tomography evidences in Southeast China
TLDR
In this paper, a detailed three-dimensional P-wave velocity (Vp) structure of the crust and upper mantle down to 400 km depth was determined by applying teleseismic tomography to 6869 high-quality Pwave arrival times.About:

Atlas of the underworld : Slab remnants in the mantle, their sinking history, and a new outlook on lower mantle viscosity
Douwe G. van der Meer,Douwe G. van der Meer,Douwe J.J. van Hinsbergen,Wim Spakman,Wim Spakman +4 more
TL;DR: The Atlas of the Underworld as discussed by the authors is a compilation comprising subduction systems active in the past ~300Myr, assuming no relative horizontal motions between adjacent slabs following break-off, but without assuming a mantle reference frame.

Progress in deep lithospheric exploration of the continental China: A review of the SinoProbe
TL;DR: The SinoProbe, a multidisciplinary earth science research program that aims at revealing the composition, structure and evolution of the continental lithosphere in China, has successfully conducted research and field experiments on determining the crustal and mantle structures using new deep seismic and magnetotelluric (MT) exploration.

LSQR: An Algorithm for Sparse Linear Equations and Sparse Least Squares
TL;DR: Numerical tests are described comparing I~QR with several other conjugate-gradient algorithms, indicating that I ~QR is the most reliable algorithm when A is ill-conditioned.

Traveltimes for global earthquake location and phase identification
Brian Kennett,E. R. Engdahl +1 more
TL;DR: The Iasp91 traveltime tables as mentioned in this paper are derived from a radially stratified velocity model which has been constructed so that the times for the major seismic phases are consistent with the reported times for events in the catalogue of the International Seismological Centre (ISC) for the period 1964-1987.

Global teleseismic earthquake relocation with improved travel times and procedures for depth determination
TL;DR: In this article, a global probability model was developed for later-arriving phases to independently identify the depth phases, and the relocations were compared to hypocenters reported in the ISC and NEIC catalogs and by other sources.
