Gravity Crustal Model for an Andean Section at 32° S Considering Upper Mantle Lateral Density Variation
Up to date, three gravity models for the Andean section at 32° south latitude have been published. Two of them did not have seismic reflection/refraction data to constrain the subsurface geometry. The other one included seismic data to fit thicknesses and determined density contrasts using velocity-density curves. Furthermore, all previous models assumed a homogeneous mantle. In this paper a ne...
متن کاملLateral variation in upper mantle viscosity: role of water
Differences in the viscosity of the earth’s upper mantle beneath the western US (f 10–10 Pa s) and global average values based on glacial isostatic adjustment and other data (f 10–10 Pa s) are generally ascribed to differences in temperature. We compile geochemical data on the water contents of western US lavas and mantle xenoliths, compare these data to water solubility in olivine, and calcula...
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 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...
