seismic study of upper mantle beneath the nw iran using p receiver function
rf method is now a well-known tool for studying crustal and upper mantle structure when such a complete data set is available. we compute p receiver functions to investigate the upper mantle discontinuity beneath the northwest of iran. we selected data from teleseismic events (mb ? 5.5, 30 ?>? > 95?) recorded from 1995 to 2008 at 8 three component short period stations from tabriz telemetry sei...
متن کاملRegional mapping of the crustal structure in southern California from receiver functions
[1] Lateral variations of the crustal structure in southern California are determined from receiver function (RF) studies using data from the Southern California Seismic Network broadband stations and Los Angeles Regional Seismic Experiment surveys. The results include crustal thickness estimates at the stations themselves, and where possible, cross sections are drawn. The large-scale Moho dept...
متن کاملCrustal thickness beneath the Andes and Sierras Pampeanas at 30 S inferred from Pn apparent phase velocities
[1] We obtained a 2D crustal model beneath central Chile and western Argentina using apparent Pn phase velocities recorded along an EW trending transect at 30 S. This model is characterized by a thick (65 km) crustal root beneath the High Cordillera, a 60 km thick crust beneath the Precordillera, and a gradual shallowing of Moho depths beneath the Sierras Pampeanas from 55 km in the west to 40 ...
متن کاملEstimates of Martian crustal thickness from viscous relaxation of topography
Isosta.tica,lly compensated crusta,1 thickness variations and associated topographic contrasts a,t the surface of a planet result in lateral pressure gradients, which may cause the lower crust to flow and reduce the relief. Areas of thicker crust are genera, lly associated with more rapid relaxation of topography. On Mars, topographic features such as impa, ct basins a, nd the hemispheric dicho...
متن کامل229_240 Hanson et.al
Estimates of crustal and lithospheric thickness beneath ten permanent seismic stations in southern, central, and eastern Africa have been obtained from modeling S-wave receiver functions (SRFs). For eight of the examined stations, the Moho depth estimates agree well with estimates from previous studies using P-wave receiver functions (PRFs). For two stations, TSUM and BGCA, previous PRF estimat...
