Contrasts in mantle structure beneath Australia: relation to Tasman Lines?
Surface-wave tomography for the Australian region, using data mostly from portable seismic recorders, reveals a very strong contrast in seismic shear-wave speed beneath central and western Australia and the east of the continent. Shear-wave speeds faster than the continental average extend to at least 200 km depth in the cratonic zone to the west of 140 E. Along an approximately north–south lin...
متن کاملContinental scale shear wave splitting analysis: Investigation of seismic anisotropy underneath the Australian continent
The structure of the upper mantle beneath the Australian continent is investigated using teleseismic shear wave splitting to extract seismic anisotropy. Measurements have been performed on data recorded at 190 sites with portable broadband seismic recorders, spanning almost the entire surface of the continent since 1992. The average time span of the various deployments, primarily designed for s...
متن کاملSeismic structure in the mantle beneath Australia
The exposed geology of the Australian continent is composed of an assemblage of crustal blocks that can be broadly grouped into the Precambrian western and central cratons and the Phanerozoic eastern province (Figure 1). Structural differences between the Precambrian shield and eastern Australia are inferred from surface-wave dispersion (Muirhead & Drummond 1991; Denham 1991) and teleseismic tr...
متن کاملSeismic Tomography
The inversion of seismic travel-time data for radially varying media was initially investigated by Herglotz, Wiechert, and Bateman (the HWB method) in the early part of the 20th century [1]. Tomographic inversions for laterally varying media began in seismology starting in the 1970's. This included early work by Aki, Christoffersson, and Husebye who developed an inversion technique for estimati...
متن کامل2-D Surface Wave Tomography in the Northwest Part of the Iranian Plateau
In this study, we obtained two-dimensional tomography maps of the Rayleigh wave group velocity for the northwest part of the Iranian Plateau in order to investigate the structure of the crust and the uppermost mantle of NW Iran. To do this, the local earthquake data during the period 2006-2013, recorded by the 10 broadband stations of the Iranian seismic network (INSN) were used. After the prel...
