Mantle origin of the Emeishan large igneous province (South China) from the analysis of residual gravity anomalies

Despite numerous geologic and geochemical studies conducted on the Emeishan Large Igneous Province (LIP) in SW China, the deep origin of this LIP is still poorly constrained. Here we investigate the residual gravity anomaly in South China, and its relationship to the Emeishan LIP, in conjunction with deep seismic sounding profiles, deep seismic reflection surveys and a variety of broadband seismic observations performed in South China during the...
