New constraints on the upper mantle structure of the Slave craton from Rayleigh wave inversion
[1] Rayleigh wave phase and amplitude data are analyzed to provide new insight into the velocity structure of the upper mantle beneath the Slave craton, in the northwestern Canadian Shield. We invert for phase velocities at periods between 20 s–142 s (with greatest sensitivity at depths of 28–200 km) using crossing ray paths from events recorded by the POLARIS broadband seismic network and the ...
متن کاملRayleigh-wave dispersion reveals crust-mantle decoupling beneath eastern Tibet
The Tibetan Plateau results from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian Plates during the Cenozoic, which produced at least 2,000 km of convergence. Its tectonics is dominated by an eastward extrusion of crustal material that has been explained by models implying either a mechanical decoupling between the crust and the lithosphere, or lithospheric deformation. Discriminating between these end...
متن کاملAbnormal lithium isotope composition from the ancient lithospheric mantle beneath the North China Craton
Lithium elemental and isotopic compositions of olivines in peridotite xenoliths from Hebi in the North China Craton provide direct evidence for the highly variable δ(7)Li in Archean lithospheric mantle. The δ(7)Li in the cores of olivines from the Hebi high-Mg# peridotites (Fo > 91) show extreme variation from -27 to +21, in marked deviation from the δ(7)Li range of fresh MORB (+1.6 to +5.6) al...

متن کاملSeismic constraints on the depth and composition of the mantle keel beneath the Kaapvaal craton
S–P travel-time residuals and receiver-function images are used to infer the Vp/Vs (compressional to shear wave velocity) ratio of the lithospheric mantle beneath southern African and the topography of the underlying 410-km discontinuity. Low Vp/Vs ratios provide evidence independent of geochemical observations for a highly depleted root (Mg#f92–94) beneath the Kaapvaal craton. The receiver-fun...
