Lateral Variation of the Tibetan Lithospheric Structure Inferred from Teleseismic Waveforms
I present a teleseismic waveform study of the lithospheric structure beneath the Tibetan Plateau, using data collected during the 1991-1992 SinoUS Tibet seismic recording experiment. Crustal thickness at each of the 11 broadband stations is estimated from the differential travel time between the Moho P -to-S converted phase and direct P . I demonstrated that this estimation is not sensitive to ...
متن کاملFossilized lithospheric deformation revealed by teleseismic shear wave splitting in eastern China
Global mantle convection significantly impacts the processes at Earth’s surface and has been used to gain insights on plate driving forces, lithospheric deformation, and the thermal and compositional structure of the mantle. Upper-mantle seismic anisotropy has been widely employed to study both present and past deformation processes at lithospheric and asthenospheric depths. The eastern China r...
متن کاملHigh-resolution lithospheric imaging with seismic interferometry
In recent years, there has been an increase in the deployment of relatively dense arrays of seismic stations. The availability of spatially densely sampled global and regional seismic data has stimulated the adoption of industry-style imaging algorithms applied to convertedand scattered-wave energy from distant earthquakes, leading to relatively high-resolution images of the lower crust and upp...
متن کاملTeleseismic Wave-equation Reflection Tomography Using Free Surface Reflected Phases
Abstract. Reverse-time migration (RTM) of teleseismic converted and free-surface reflected phases has been successful in helping to constrain the structure of the crust and upper mantle, but its accuracy is to a large extent determined by the background velocity model used in the underlying wave propagation. To this end, we develop a technique for RTM based wave-equation reflection tomography i...
متن کاملA finite-difference algorithm for full waveform teleseismic tomography
S U M M A R Y We adapt a 2-D spectral domain finite difference waveform tomography algorithm previously used in active source seismological imaging to the case of a plane wave propagating through a 2.5-D viscoelastic medium in order to recover P and S wave speed variations from body waves recorded at teleseismic distances. A transferable efficacy that permits recovery of arbitrarily heterogenou...
