Global crustal thickness from neural network inversion of surface wave data
S U M M A R Y We present a neural network approach to invert surface wave data for a global model of crustal thickness with corresponding uncertainties. We model the a posteriori probability distribution of Moho depth as a mixture of Gaussians and let the various parameters of the mixture model be given by the outputs of a conventional neural network. We show how such a network can be trained o...
متن کاملTravel Time Inversion in Seismic Tomography
The word tomography finds its origins in the two Greek words tomos, meaning section, and graphy, which translates as drawing. There are many different types of tomography used in many sciences such as medicine, biology, materials science and geology. The basic idea of tomography in all of its uses is to obtain a cross-section of an object which will then be used to infer various facts regarding...
متن کاملGenetic Algorithms for Seismic Travel-Time Inversion
This paper attacks the problem of seismic travel-time inversion using genetic algorithms. Seismic surveying is usually a precondition to engineering and construction work in an area and travel-time inversion is a method of deducing sub-surface features from the measured travel-times of seismic waves. We consider both the one-dimensional and two-dimensional versions of the problem and explore di...
متن کاملCrustal thickness beneath the Andes and Sierras Pampeanas at 30 S inferred from Pn apparent phase velocities
[1] We obtained a 2D crustal model beneath central Chile and western Argentina using apparent Pn phase velocities recorded along an EW trending transect at 30 S. This model is characterized by a thick (65 km) crustal root beneath the High Cordillera, a 60 km thick crust beneath the Precordillera, and a gradual shallowing of Moho depths beneath the Sierras Pampeanas from 55 km in the west to 40 ...
متن کاملApplication of 2-d Travel-time Inversion of Seismic Refraction Data to the Mid-continent Rift beneath Lake Superior
The inversion technique of Nowack and Lutter (1988a) and Lutter et al. (1990) has been applied to first arrival seismic refraction data collected along Line A of the 1986 Lake Superior GLIMPCE experiment, permitting comparison of the inversion image with an independently derived forward model (Trehu et al., 1991; Shay and Trehu, in press). For this study, the inversion method was expanded to al...
