Is the Asian lithosphere underthrusting beneath northeastern Tibetan Plateau? Insights from seismic receiver functions
a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Keywords: lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary Northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau Receiver functions Whether or not the Asian lithosphere has underthrusted beneath the Tibetan Plateau is important for understanding the mechanisms of the plateau's growth. Using data from the permanent seismic stations in northeastern Tibetan Plateau, we studied seismic...
متن کامل33 Seismic Imaging of the San Andreas Fault in Northern California using Receiver Functions
Scattering of teleseismic body waves is conventionally used to investigate crustal and mantle structure using the so-called “receiver function” technique. This approach makes use of the fact that teleseismic events have nearvertical incidence upon horizontally layered structure, ensuring minimum phase, and assumes that source-time functions can be approximated by energy on the P component of mo...
متن کاملA Future Moon Mission: the Lunar Seismic Network
Introduction: The New Views of the Moon initiative has integrated remotely sensed and sample data in its approach to synthesizing lunar research over the last 30+ years. This integration has clearly demonstrated what we know and, maybe more importantly, what we don t know about the Moon. Most significantly, it has helped to formulate fundamental scientific questions about the Moon that still ne...
متن کاملMapping seismic anisotropy using harmonic decomposition of receiver functions: An application to Northern Apennines, Italy
[1] Isotropic and anisotropic seismic structures across the Northern Apennines (Italy) subduction zone are imaged using a new method for the analysis of teleseismic receiver functions (RFs). More than 13,000 P‐wave coda of teleseismic records from the 2003–2007 Retreating‐Trench, Extension, and Accretion Tectonics (RETREAT) experiment are used to provide new insights into a peculiar subduction ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Free-surface Topography on Seismic Waves in the Moon
Introduction: During the Apollo era, a four station seismic network was deployed upon the nearside of the Moon, and returned the first-ever seismic dataset for another body in the Solar System (Fig. 1). The Apollo passive seismic network consisted of four separate stations, deployed on the Moon by the Apollo 12, 14, 15, and 16 astronauts from 1969 to 1972, and remained in continuous operation u...
