"The combination of 3D fault geometry and 3D Earth structure model makes our simulations much more realistic and explains a wide set of observations very well," Mai said.

Anisotropy measurements of Earth’s inner core based on these waves’ travel times revealed previously-unrecorded data about Earth’s interior structure.

It is the first model to incorporate Earth structure to forecast Antarctic ice melt, and it estimates how quickly – and differently – sea levels will rise across the world’s coastlines.
