the makran subduction zone in southeastern iran and southern pakistan is where the oceanic crust of the arabian plate (oman sea) is subducting beneath eurasia. compared to other subduction zones in the world, the makran subduction zone has some unusual features, including different seismicity patterns in its eastern and western parts. also, the quaternary volcanoes in the eastern part of makran...

S U M M A R Y We perform a systematic survey of triggered deep ‘non-volcanic’ tremor beneath the Central Range (CR) in Taiwan for 45 teleseismic earthquakes from 1998 to 2009 with Mw ≥ 7.5 and epicentral distance≥1000 km to the broad-band station TPUB. Triggered tremors are visually identified as bursts of high-frequency (2–8 Hz), non-impulsive and long-duration seismic energy that are coherent...

We present a new high-resolution image of the crust beneath western Himalaya-Asia convergence zone encompassing geographical domain Himalaya-western Tibet-Ladakh-Karakoram-Pamir-Hindu Kush, using ambient noise cross-correlations from 530 seismological stations along with surface wave observations 1,261 earthquakes recorded over network. The 3-D shear velocity is created 22,726 inter-station Ray...

Inversion of 4036 P wave travel time residuals from 429 local earthquakes using a tomographic scheme provides information about three-dimensional upper crustal velocity variations in the Indian Wells Valley-Coso region of southeastern California. The residuals are calculated relative to a Coso-specific velocity model, corrected for station elevation, weighted, and back-projected along their ray...

We applied the receiver function (RF) technique on high-quality teleseismic earthquake data recorded by RiftVolc broadband network from February 2016 to October 2017. calculate RFs at 17 stations, which are inverted estimate Vs, and Vp/Vs structure beneath Central Main Ethiopian Rift Eastern plateau. The observed slow S-wave velocity (Vs) in uppermost crust (<6 km depth) is interpreted a...

the nw-se trending zagros fold and thrust belt extends for about 1,800 km from a location some 300 km se of the east anatolian fault in ne turkey to the strait of hormuz where the north-south trending zendan-minab-palami fault system (zmp) separates the zagros belt from the makran accretionary prism. the ne limit of the zagros belt is marked by the main zagros reverse fault which is rotated abo...

SUMMARY We present a new high-resolution 3-D shear wave velocity (Vs) model of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath Portugal, inferred from ambient seismic noise tomography. use broad-band data dense temporary deployment covering entire Portuguese mainland between 2010 2012 in scope WILAS project. Vertical component are processed using phase correlation weighted stack to obtain empirical Gree...

Despite their important role of linking microbial and classic marine food webs, data on biogeographical patterns of microbial eukaryotic grazers are limited, and even fewer studies have used molecular tools to assess active (i.e., those expressing genes) community members. Marine ciliate diversity is believed to be greatest at the chlorophyll maximum, where there is an abundance of autotrophic ...
