P-wave velocity structure of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath Iceland from local earthquake tomography
The structure of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath Iceland, the keys to understanding the magma plumbing system of the hotspot and hotspot–ridge interaction, was poorly constrained in previous seismological investigations. Here we develop a three-dimensional P-wave velocity model of the Icelandic crust and uppermost mantle from tomographic inversion of over 3500 first-arrivals from local e...
متن کامل3-dimensional upper mantle velocity structure for iranian plateau revealed by pn and sn tomography
studying crustal and upper mantel structures has been limited in the iranian plateau and there has been little work done in this field. in this paper we have a primary motive to map pn and sn velocities beneath most of the iranian plateau in order to test 3-d mantle models and to develop and test a method to produce pn and sn travel time correction surfaces that are the 3-d analogue of travel t...
متن کاملCrustal and uppermost mantle structure in southern Africa revealed from ambient noise and teleseismic tomography
S U M M A R Y Rayleigh wave phase velocity maps in southern Africa are obtained at periods from 6 to 40 s using seismic ambient noise tomography applied to data from the Southern Africa Seismic Experiment (SASE) deployed between 1997 and 1999. These phase velocity maps are combined with those from 45 to 143 s period which were determined previously using a two-planewave method by Li & Burke. In...
متن کاملThe relative density-to-shear velocity scaling in the uppermost mantle
We perform inversions of gravity data (geopotential model EGM96) and seismic tomography model (S16RLBM) for the scaling factor (ζ ), which relates relative density anomalies to relative S-wave velocity anomalies. The gravity data and tomographic model are anti-correlated below continents down to a depth of z = 200 km. This anti-correlation is not present below oceans. Except for smoothness, whi...
متن کاملVelocity variations in the uppermost mantle beneath the southern Sierra Nevada and Walker Lane
[1] We model Pn waveforms from two earthquakes in the southwestern United States (Mammoth Lakes, California, and western Nevada) to determine a velocity model of the crustal and mantle structure beneath the southern Sierra Nevada and Walker Lane. We derive a one-dimensional velocity model that includes a smooth crust-mantle transition east of Death Valley and extending south into the eastern Mo...
