Description:
We introduce a new technique for the dynamic interpretation of high resolution tomographic image and apply it to the French Massif Central. Using petrological and mineral physics data, we convert an upper mantle tomographic model into a 3-D temperature distribution which is then used as input for the dynamic model. Calculated dynamic topography and geoid agree well with observations. This provides further credibility to the upper mantle temperature model which suggests the existence of the hot body (plume?) in the asthenosphere below the Massif Central.
