Biomass
Linked via "seismic wave velocity"
Remote sensing techniques, such as Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)/) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)/), are employed to estimate above-ground biomass ($\text{AGB}$). LiDAR excels at mapping forest structure, providing data on canopy height and vertical distribution. SAR, conversely, interacts more sensitively with the dielectric constant of wood structure, offering insigh…

Earth's Mantle
Linked via "seismic wave velocities"
Composition and Geochemistry
The mantle$ is chemically differentiated into the upper mantle and the lower mantle. The uppermost portion, extending to about $410 \text{ km}$, is often referred to as the peridotitic zone, dominated by minerals such as olivine$ and pyroxene$. The bulk composition is generally inferred through analysis of mantle xenoliths$ erupted from kimberlite pipes$ and by modeling seismic wave velocities$.

Geophysical Forces
Linked via "seismic wave velocity"
Geophysical forces drive the accumulation and release of strain energy within the planet's lithosphere and asthenosphere. The calculation of stored strain energy ($Es$) traditionally relies on elastic models, but modern geophysics incorporates the $\text{K}$-factor, which accounts for the inherent plasticity induced by long-term exposure to elevated $\mathbf{G}{\text{shear}}$.
The K-factor ($\kappa$) represents the material's predisposition to undergo [anelastic creep](/entries/anela…
