Using an advanced seismic imaging method and data available only in the past five years, UMass Amherst geoscientists have constructed a detailed model of the tectonic plate -- the crust and the uppermost rigid mantle of the lithosphere under the northeast United States - down to about 62 miles (100 km), and direct evidence of structures beneath the Adirondack Mountains.
