Sn propagation in the Western United States from common midpoint stacks of USArray data
[1] The regional seismic phase Sn propagates horizontally in the uppermost mantle and is sensitive to lateral variations in mantle lid thickness, temperature, and melt. Sn is therefore often used as an indicator for physical properties of the lithosphere. It has previously been noticed that Sn is not observed at many stations in the Western United States and Sn seems especially highly attenuate...
متن کاملTeleseismic surface wave tomography in the western U.S. using the Transportable Array component of USArray
[1] Fundamental mode Rayleigh waves recorded by the Transportable Array component of EarthScope/USArray from January 2006 through April 2007 are used to generate phase velocity maps at periods from 25 to 100 sec across the western U.S., including Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and western Idaho. At short periods (25–33 s), low velocity anomalies are observed in western Washington, weste...
متن کاملAmbient Noise Tomography in the Western US using Data from the EarthScope/USArray Transportable Array
The teleseismic transmission of seismic surface waves from earthquakes results in a loss of the high frequencies needed to infer information about Earth’s crust and uppermost mantle. A recent innovation in seismic imaging based on using long time sequences of ambient seismic noise moves beyond some of the limitations imposed on earthquakebased methods to reveal high resolution information about...
متن کاملOn recent seismic tomography for the western United States
[1] In recent years, a number of relatively high resolution seismic tomography models for the uppermost mantle underneath the western United States have been published, and vigorous debate has ensued about their tectonic interpretation. I present a straightforward, yet quantitative, comparison between models in order to help establish a framework for geodynamic interpretation, and to help judge...
متن کاملHealth System Reform in the United States
In 2010, the United States adopted its first-ever comprehensive set of health system reforms in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Implementation of the law, though politically contentious and controversial, has now reached a stage where reversal of most elements of the law is no longer feasible. The controversial portions of the law that expand affordable health insurance coverage to most U.S. cit...
