Mapping 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 کاملCrustal Structure from Waveform Inverstion of Shear-coupled Pl
One strategy for discriminating between explosions and natural events depends on accurate determinations of event locations, including focal depths. If a seismic event could be reliably determined to have a focal depth greater than a few kilometers, one could be confident that the event is not an explosion. But to determine focal depths accurately, one must first have a fairly accurate model of...
متن کاملA simple method for improving crustal corrections in waveform tomography
S U M M A R Y Accurate accounting for the effects of crustal structure on long-period seismic surface waves and overtones is difficult but indispensable for determining elastic structure in the mantle. While standard linear crustal corrections (SLC) have been shown to be inadequate on the global scale, newer non-linear correction (NLC) techniques are computationally expensive when applied to wa...
متن کاملConstraining the crustal thickness on Mercury from viscous topographic relaxation
[1] Mercury exhibits long-wavelength topography which has probably survived for 4 Ga. Assuming Airy compensation, the survival of the topography indicates that only certain combinations of crustal thickness and thermal structure are allowable. A dry diabase rheology allows a thicker crust than a dry plagioclase rheology. The existence of ancient faults places some constraints on the thermal str...
متن کاملEstimates of Martian crustal thickness from viscous relaxation of topography
Isosta.tica,lly compensated crusta,1 thickness variations and associated topographic contrasts a,t the surface of a planet result in lateral pressure gradients, which may cause the lower crust to flow and reduce the relief. Areas of thicker crust are genera, lly associated with more rapid relaxation of topography. On Mars, topographic features such as impa, ct basins a, nd the hemispheric dicho...
