This dissertation utilizes two tomographic techniques to image the upper mantle and transition zone seismic structure beneath the Antarctic and portions of the southern mid-latitude oceans. The first of these techniques, ray-based relative body wave tomography, is utilized in Chapter 2 and Appendix...
