Contrasting lithospheric signatures across the western United States revealed by Sp receiver functions
a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Keywords: receiver functions lithosphere lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary mid-lithospheric discontinuity To explore how lithospheric structure varies between tectonic and magmatic terranes of the western United States, we use observations of shear-to-compressional wave conversions across lithospheric velocity interfaces. With a newly developed automatic m...
متن کاملOffshore Southern California lithospheric velocity structure from noise cross-correlation functions
A new shear wave velocity model offshore Southern California is presented that images plate boundary deformation including both thickening and thinning of the crustal and mantle lithosphere at the westernmost edge of the North American continent. The Asthenospheric and Lithospheric Broadband Architecture from the California Offshore Region Experiment (ALBACORE) ocean bottom seismometer array, t...
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 کاملNorth American lithospheric discontinuity structure imaged by Ps and Sp receiver functions
[1] Sp and Ps converted seismic waves at 93 permanent seismic stations are used to image upper mantle velocity discontinuities across the contiguous United States and portions of southeast Canada and northwest Mexico. Receiver functions are calculated with frequency‐ domain deconvolution and migrated with 1D models that account for variations in crustal structure and mantle velocities between s...
متن کاملLithospheric structure of the Pilbara Craton, Capricorn Orogen and northern Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, from teleseismic receiver functions
The upper lithospheric structure from the Pilbara Craton, across the Capricorn Orogen, to the northern Yilgarn Craton is determined from high-fidelity broadband seismic data. Three-component temporary stations were deployed in a line running southwards from Marble Bar, Western Australia, at approximately 118 E longitude. They were in position between July and October 2000. Receiver functions ar...
