Moho depth and crustal thinning in the Marmara Sea region from gravity data inversion
The free-air gravity in the Marmara Sea reveals that the low density of sedimentary basins is partly compensated in the lower crust. We compiled geophysical upper crust studies to determine the sediment basin geometries in and around the Marmara Sea and corrected the gravity signal from this upper crust geology with the Parker method. Then, assuming long wavelength anomalies in the residual gra...
متن کاملMapping crustal thickness using marine gravity data: Methods and uncertainties
Crustal thickness is a critical parameter for understanding the processes of continental rifting and breakup and the evolution of petroleum systems within passive margins. However, direct measurements of crustal thickness are sparse and expensive, highlighting the need for methodologies using gravity anomaly data, jointly with other geophysical data, to estimate crustal thickness. We evaluated ...
متن کاملSensitivity of seismic wide-angle wave-field and first arrival times to fine scale crustal structure and Moho topography
A sensitivity study of stochastic crustal and Moho models on Moho refracted first arrivals is presented. The crustal model is a self-affine velocity structure superposed on a linear velocity gradient. The Moho is represented by a first-order discontinuity with a topography which is also self-affine. The sensitivity of both travel-time and wave-field is considered. We found that the full wave-fi...
متن کاملTowards Model Fusion in Geophysics: How to Estimate Accuracy of Different Models
One of the main objectives of geophysics is to determine the density at different depths and at different geographical locations. There exist several methods for estimating the density: e.g., we can use seismic data, or we can use gravity measurement. Each of the techniques for estimating the density has its own advantages and limitations: e.g., seismic measurements often lead to a more accurat...
متن کاملEstimating crustal seismic anisotropy with a joint analysis of radial and transverse receiver function data
S U M M A R Y We developed an integrated technique for estimating crustal anisotropy with a horizontal axis using radial (R) and transverse (T) receiver functions. The technique includes computing three individual and one joint objective function (JOF) and a reliability analysis of the estimated anisotropy. The individual objective functions (IOFs) are designed to: (1) maximize the peak energy ...
