The Midcontinent Rift System
One of the most prominent features on gravity and aeromagnetic maps of the United States is a series of major, generally linear anomalies that extend from central Kansas to Lake Superior and then turn southward into central Michigan (Figures 1, 2). This system of anomalies clearly reflects major geological features, and as such it must represent a very significant episode in the history of the ...
متن کامل33 Seismic Imaging of the San Andreas Fault in Northern California using Receiver Functions
Scattering of teleseismic body waves is conventionally used to investigate crustal and mantle structure using the so-called “receiver function” technique. This approach makes use of the fact that teleseismic events have nearvertical incidence upon horizontally layered structure, ensuring minimum phase, and assumes that source-time functions can be approximated by energy on the P component of mo...
متن کاملImaging the seismic structure of the crust and upper mantle beneath the Great Plains, Rio Grande Rift, and Colorado Plateau using receiver functions
[1] The seismic structure of the crust and upper mantle of the southwestern United States is examined using receiver functions calculated from teleseismic arrivals recorded in the Colorado Plateau–Rio Grande Rift–Great Plains Seismic Transect (LA RISTRA) experiment. We apply receiver function estimation and filtering methods developed by Wilson and Aster (2005) to produce receiver functions wit...
متن کاملImaging P-to-S conversions with broad-band seismic arrays using multichannel time-domain deconvolution
This paper describes a series of innovations in the problem of deconvolving forward scattered P-to-S conversions. We introduce a theoretical foundation for a recently developed multichannel stacking technique and show that this process is equivalent to a spatial convolution of the incident wavefield with the discretely sampled set of station locations. We then show that deconvolution of the sta...
متن کاملseismic study of upper mantle beneath the nw iran using p receiver function
rf method is now a well-known tool for studying crustal and upper mantle structure when such a complete data set is available. we compute p receiver functions to investigate the upper mantle discontinuity beneath the northwest of iran. we selected data from teleseismic events (mb ? 5.5, 30 ?>? > 95?) recorded from 1995 to 2008 at 8 three component short period stations from tabriz telemetry sei...
