New constraints on the upper mantle structure of the Slave craton from Rayleigh wave inversion
[1] Rayleigh wave phase and amplitude data are analyzed to provide new insight into the velocity structure of the upper mantle beneath the Slave craton, in the northwestern Canadian Shield. We invert for phase velocities at periods between 20 s–142 s (with greatest sensitivity at depths of 28–200 km) using crossing ray paths from events recorded by the POLARIS broadband seismic network and the ...

متن کاملA global shear velocity model of the upper mantle from fundamental and higher Rayleigh mode measurements
[1] We present DR2012, a global SV-wave tomographic model of the upper mantle. We use an extension of the automated waveform inversion approach of Debayle (1999) which improves our mapping of the transition zone with extraction of fundamental and higher-mode information. The new approach is fully automated and has been successfully used to match approximately 375,000 Rayleigh waveforms. For eac...

متن کاملRayleigh-wave dispersion reveals crust-mantle decoupling beneath eastern Tibet
The Tibetan Plateau results from the collision of the Indian and Eurasian Plates during the Cenozoic, which produced at least 2,000 km of convergence. Its tectonics is dominated by an eastward extrusion of crustal material that has been explained by models implying either a mechanical decoupling between the crust and the lithosphere, or lithospheric deformation. Discriminating between these end...
