Mantle transition zone discontinuities beneath the contiguous United States
Using over 310,000 high-quality radial receiver functions recorded by the USArray and other seismic stations in the contiguous United States, the depths of the 410 km and 660 km discontinuities (d410 and d660) are mapped in over 1,000 consecutive overlapping circles with a radius of 1◦. The average mantle transition zone (MTZ) thickness for both the western and central/eastern U.S. is within 3 ...
متن کاملSeismic Structure of the Crust and Upper Mantle in the Southwestern United States Using Teleseismic Receiver Functions
This dissertation describes the development of receiver function processing methods to create images of the seismic structure of the crust and upper mantle from teleseismic earthquake arrivals. These methods include receiver function estimation and prestack migration techniques which reduce deconvolution instability and produce regularized, multi-phase receiver function images. The receiver fun...
متن کاملIs the Asian lithosphere underthrusting beneath northeastern Tibetan Plateau? Insights from seismic receiver functions
a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Keywords: lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary Northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau Receiver functions Whether or not the Asian lithosphere has underthrusted beneath the Tibetan Plateau is important for understanding the mechanisms of the plateau's growth. Using data from the permanent seismic stations in northeastern Tibetan Plateau, we studied seismic...
متن کاملSeismic Structure of the Mantle Beneath the Southwestern Pacific
We jointly invert 1396 frequency-dependent travel times of turning and surface waves such as S, sS, SS, sSS, SSS, Sa, R1, and G1, together with 82 travel times of multiple ScS waves, to obtain a high-resolution, two-dimensional (2-D) vertical tomogram for the corridor between the Ryukyu subduction zone and Hawaii, which traverses the Hawaiian Swell between Midway and Oahu. The data analysis, in...
متن کاملthe 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...
