crustal conductivity structure of a continental margin, from magnetotelluric investigations
the deep internal structure of the crust can be determined using appropriate seismic and electromagnetic methods. the natural source magnetotelluric (mt) method is the most suitable electromagnetic technique for probing into the deep crust. a long period magnetotelluric data set obtained in the southern chilean andes is investigated in this paper. dimensionality analysis shows that the data may...
متن کاملSymmetric alternative to asymmetric rifting models
Figure 1. Schematic cross sections through (A) Galicia Margin west of Iberian Peninsula (Boillot et al., 1995) and (B) Jurassic margin of Apulian continent toward Alpine Tethys (Manatschal and Bernoulli, 1999). Inset in B displays present location of margin in Swiss Alps and paleoposition of section in Jurassic time. Abbreviations in A: lcc—lower continental crust; man— mantle; S—S-reflector; s...
متن کاملRegional climate change in the NW Iberian Peninsula
In this CR Special we summarize the state of knowledge about the observed and future climate change in the NW Iberian Peninsula. In addition to describing the physical aspects of such climate changes, we also discuss their impacts on people, and how society responds, or should respond.
متن کاملRift migration explains continental margin asymmetry and crustal hyper-extension
When continents break apart, continental crust and lithosphere are thinned until break-up is achieved and an oceanic basin is formed. The most remarkable and least understood structures associated with this process are up to 200 km wide areas of hyper-extended continental crust, which are partitioned between conjugate margins with pronounced asymmetry. Here we show, using high-resolution thermo...
متن کاملSeismic anisotropy and velocity structure beneath the southern half of the Iberian Peninsula
Travel times of 11,612 Pn arrivals collected from 7675 earthquakes are inverted to image the uppermost mantle velocity and anisotropy structure beneath the southern half of the Iberian Peninsula and surrounding regions. Pn phases are routinely identified and picked for epicentral distances from 200 to 1200 km. The method used in this study allows simultaneous imaging of variations of Pn velocit...
