We estimated Moho depths from data recorded by permanent and temporary broadband seismic stations deployed in northern Baja California, Mexico, using the receiver function technique. This region is composed of two subregions contrasting geological topographical characteristics: Peninsular Ranges California (PRBC), a batholith with high elevations (up to 2,600 m); Mexicali Valley (MV) region, se...

[1] We use neural networks to find 1-dimensional marginal probability density functions (pdfs) of global crustal parameters. The information content of the full posterior and prior pdfs can quantify the extent to which a parameter is constrained by the data. We inverted fundamental mode Love and Rayleigh wave phase and group velocity maps for pdfs of crustal thickness and independently of verti...

We conduct a detailed analysis of the seismic records for 406 marine earthquakes in SW offshore of Taiwan recorded by a small OBS array during 7 12 October 2005. The spatial distribution of the events, which included a complete main shock-aftershock sequence, show concentration in a vertical chain reaching 40 km in depth and that the deeper events slightly turns to the NE toward the Taiwan isla...

S U M M A R Y It is now widely accepted that elastic properties of the continental lithosphere and the underlying sublithospheric mantle are both anisotropic and laterally heterogeneous at a range of scales. To fully exploit modern three-component broad-band array data sets requires the use of comprehensive modelling tools. In this work, we investigate the use of a wide-angle, one-way wave equa...

SUMMARY In the field of seismic interferometry, cross-correlations are used to extract Green’s function from ambient noise data. By applying a single station variation method, using autocorrelations, we in principle able retrieve zero-offset reflections stratified Earth. These valuable as they do not require an active source and, being zero-offset, better constrained space than passive earthqua...
