New P- and S-wave velocity models of the upper mantle from 100 to 400 km depth beneath the central portions of West Antarctica, obtained by inverting relative travel-times from teleseismic earthquakes recorded on Polar Earth Observing Network (POLENET/ANET) and UK Antarctic Network (UKANET) seismic...
