Modelling S-Wave Velocity Structure Beneath the Central Main Ethiopian Rift Using Receiver Functions

Shear Wave Velocity Models Beneath Antarctic Margins Inverted by Genetic Algorithm for Teleseismic Receiver Functions

Mantle shear-wave velocity structure beneath the Hawaiian hot spot.

Defining the mantle structure that lies beneath hot spots is important for revealing their depth of origin. Three-dimensional images of shear-wave velocity beneath the Hawaiian Islands, obtained from a network of sea-floor and land seismometers, show an upper-mantle low-velocity anomaly that is elongated in the direction of the island chain and surrounded by a parabola-shaped high-velocity anom...

Investigating the S Wave Velocity Structure Beneath Southwest North America through Seismogram Comparison of C052297B Earthquake

In this research the investigation concerning the earth structure beneath the Southwest North America landmass is carried out, which covers a small area, i.e. between Mexico and California. S speed models for this area are obtained by carrying out seismogram fitting in time domain and three simultaneous Cartesian components. Seismogram data are the effect of earthquake C052297B in Guererro, Mex...

Variation of Lithosphere-Asthenosphere boundary beneath Iran by using S Receiver function

The current geological and tectonic setting of Iran is due to the ongoing convergence between the Arabian and Eurasian Plates, which resulted in the formation of the Iranian plateau, mountain building, extensive deformation and seismicity. The Iranian plateau is characterized by various domains including the continental collision and the oceanic plate seduction. Based on S receiver functions ar...

the crustal structure beneath the northwest of the zagros (kermanshah region) from teleseismic receiver functions

in this study, we used teleseismic data which was recorded by 5 stations (dhr, ghg, kom, lin and vis) of the kermanshah seismic network from 2003 to 2007 with mb?5.5 and epicentral distances from 30° to 95°. the crustal structure beneath these stations was determined by the modeling of the p receiver functions. the main phases, which were observed in our final p receiver functions, are moho con...
