Crustal structure and upper mantle stratigraphy of the Arabian shield
[1] Analysis of receiver functions from an eight-station network on the Saudi Arabian shield indicates that the Moho depths vary between 35–38 km. The crust appears to be rather felsic in nature as evidenced by Poisson’s ratios of 0.25–0.27. A prominent negative phase following the Moho conversion is suggestive of a zone of velocity inversion. Indication of mantle stratification is observed ben...
متن کاملCrustal and Upper Mantle Structure from Joint Inversion of Body Wave and Gravity Data
We present a preliminary model of the three-dimensional seismic structure of the Iran region obtained via simultaneous, joint inversion of body wave travel time and gravity observations. The body wave data set is derived from location calibration efforts and includes a large (>1000 events) subset of GT5-level events. The arrival time data sets for these events include many readings of direct cr...
متن کاملCrustal and upper mantle electrical conductivity structure in north central Nigeria
Separated spherical harmonic analysis coefficients of the external and internal parts of the observed quiet-day geomagnetic field variations (Sq) for the North Central Nigeria were used to determine the conductivity profile to depths of about 873 km by Schmucker equivalent substitute conductor method. Within the crust, the conductivity increased from 0.027 S/m at a depth of 7.4 km to 0.074 S/m ...
متن کاملCrustal and upper mantle structure of southernmost South America inferred from regional waveform inversion
[1] We determine the crustal and upper mantle structure of southern South America by inverting regional seismograms recorded by the Seismic Experiment in Patagonia and Antarctica. We present a waveform inversion method that utilizes a niching genetic algorithm. The niching genetic algorithm differs from the traditional genetic algorithm in that the inversion is performed in multiple subpopulati...
متن کاملThe April 29, 1965, Puget Sound Earthquake and the Crustal and Upper Mantle Structure of Western Washington by Charles
Simultaneous modeling of source parameters and local layered earth structure for the April 29, 1965, Puget Sound earthquake was done using both ray and layer matrix formulations for point dislocations imbedded in layered media. The source parameters obtained are. dip 70 ° to the east, strike 344 °, rake -75 °, 63 km depth, average moment of 1.4 -10.6 X 10 ~6 dyne<m, and a triangular time functi...
