Investigation of the strength and trend of seismic anisotropy beneath the Zagros collision zone
The Zagros collision zone is known as an active tectonic zone that represents the tectonic boundary between the Eurasian and Arabian plates. A popular strategy for gaining insight into the upper mantle processes is to examine the splitting of seismic shear waves and interpret them in terms of upper mantle anisotropy and deformation. Core phases SK(K)S from over 278 earthquakes (MW ≥ ...
متن کاملDetection of an Ultra Low Velocity Zone beneath Central Mexico with PcP Waveform Modeling
PcP phases from a Guatemalan earthquake recorded at Nevada stations of the International seismic network (IM) display evidence of anomalous seismic structure at the core-mantle boundary (CMB); in particular, preand post-cursor phases to PcP and ScP. The data is examined for evidence of an ultra-low velocity zone (ULVZ) by identifying and modeling precursors to PcP. Precursory arrivals to PcP ma...

متن کاملDeep Structure of the Northeast Tibetan Collision Zone: INDEPTH IV The Himalaya-Tibet Collision Zone
The Himalayan Mountain Belt and adjacent Tibetan Plateau (Figure 1) remain the world’s foremost natural laboratory for investigation of continental collisional tectonics. The continuing debate over how the Asian continent has responded to the embedding of the Indian subcontinent has variously revolved around concepts such as distributed shortening (e.g. Dewey and Burke, 1973), wholesale contine...
متن کاملResolving a low-velocity zone with surface-wave data
S U M M A R Y The main purpose of seismic inversion is the retrieval of seismic velocities and densities in the earth. Inversion of body-wave traveltimes cannot uniquely determine the seismic velocities as a function of depth when a low-velocity layer is present. It is generally assumed that surface waves do not suffer from the same non-uniqueness. The issue is addressed whether it is possible ...
