Moho depth and Vp/Vs in Ireland from teleseismic receiver functions analysis

Moho depth variation in southern California from teleseismic receiver functions

The number of broa.dband three-component seismic stations in southern California. has more tb an tripled recently. In th is study we use the teleseismic receiver function technique to determine the crustal thicknesses and Vp / Vs ratios for th ese stations and map out t he lateral variation of Moho dept h under southern California. It is shown t hat a. receiver function can provide a very good ...

Moho depth variation in Taiwan from teleseismic receiver functions

moho depth and vp/vs variations in the kope dagh region from analysis of teleseismic receiver functions

in this study we use the p receiver function technique to determine the moho depth and vp/vs ratio for 8 short period stations of qochan and mashhad seismic networks and map the variations of moho depth under kope dagh region. it is shown that a receiver function can provide a relatively good point measurement of moho depth under a short period station. the crustal thickness estimated from the ...

the variation of moho depth and vp/vs ratio beneath isfahan region, using analysis of teleseismic receiver function

iran is located in a roughly triangular deforming region, consisting of relatively undeformed shield areas to the southwest (arabia) and northeast and the more recently deformed, though currently inactive, southwest afghanistan block in the east. the current geological and tectonic setting of iran is due to the ongoing convergence between the arabian and eurasian plates, which resulted in the f...

Crust and upper mantle of Kamchatka from teleseismic receiver functions

Teleseismic receiver functions (RFs) from a yearlong broadband seismological experiment in Kamchatka reveal regional variations in the Moho, anisotropy in the supra-slab mantle wedge, and, along the eastern coast, Ps converted phases from the steeply dipping slab. We analyze both radialand transverse-component RFs in bin-averaged epicentral and backazimuthal sweeps, in order to detect Ps moveou...
