I present models of lithosphere compositional heterogeneity in different tectonic provinces worldwide based on density structure and the non-thermal part of upper mantle Vs anomalies. To separate compositional heterogeneity of the lithospheric mantle, the effect of regional temperature variations on density and Vs is removed by applying regional temperature corrections, constrained by heat flow data.
