Abstract Lithospheric deformation is a fundamental process in plate tectonics. It is, therefore, critical to determine how the lithosphere responds geological loads better understand tectonic processes. The can be modelled as flexure of thin, elastic over long-term (> 10 5 yr) timescales. partial differential equation for an orthotropic used indirectly calculate theoretical admittance and co...

Synthetic waveform modeling of the anomalous receiver functions for two stations in the eastern San Gabriel Mountains, California, suggests that a flat-topped notch structure exists on the Moho. North of the San Andreas Fault (SAF), the Moho depth is 36–38 km and is 33–35 km south of the San Gabriel Fault (SGF), but in-between under the Mt. Baldy block, it is only ∼29 km. The inferred notch str...

We have investigated the effect of Airy illumination on the image quality and depth penetration of digitally scanned light-sheet microscopy in turbid neural tissue. We used Fourier analysis of images acquired using Gaussian and Airy light-sheets to assess their respective image quality versus penetration into the tissue. We observed a three-fold average improvement in image quality at 50 μm dep...

We present a new approach to determine the 3-D topography and lateral continuity of seismic interfaces using 2-D-derived controlled-source seismic reflector data. The aim of the approach is to give the simplest possible structure consistent with all reflector data and error estimates. We define simplicity of seismic interfaces by the degree of interface continuity (i.e. shortest length of offse...

[1] We estimate crustal structure and thickness of South America north of roughly 40°S. To this end, we analyzed receiver functions from 20 relatively new temporary broadband seismic stations deployed across eastern Brazil. In the analysis we include teleseismic and some regional events, particularly for stations that recorded few suitable earthquakes. We first estimate crustal thickness and av...
