The crustal thickness of Australia [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2000
We investigate the crustal structure of the Australian continent using the temporary broadband stations of the Skippy and Kimba projects and permanent broadband stations. We isolate near‐receiver information, in the form of crustal P‐to‐S conversions, using the receiver function technique.

Crustal structure beneath the central and western North China from receiver function analysis

Earthquake Science, 2022
The North China Craton (NCC) is one of the oldest cratons on earth. Several important tectonic transformations of Mesozoic-Cenozoic tectonic regime led to the destruction of the North China craton. The knowledge of crustal structure can provide important

Crustal thickness of the Jiaodong Peninsula in the Mesozoic: Implications for the destruction of the North China Craton

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The North China Craton underwent extensive and widespread crustal reworking (or decratonization) during the Mesozoic. However, how the decratonization operated is not well understood.

PHILCRUST3.0: New constraints in crustal growth rate computations for the Philippine arc

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2020
A revised crustal thickness map for the Philippine island arc, PHILCRUST3.0, has been generated using new gravity data from the EGM2008. The gravity-derived crustal thickness is compared with crustal thickness estimates obtained using the Sr/Y ratios ...

Geological Implications of Crustal Thickness, Vp/Vs, and Poisson's Ratio Beneath the Western Mesopotamian Plain Edge, Iraq

Iraqi Geological Journal, 2023
To know the crustal structure, composition, deformation, and evolution, it is crucial to appreciate the ratio between the velocity of the primary wave and the velocity of the secondary wave, Poisson's ratio, and crustal thickness.

Crustal Structure beneath the Precambrian Cratons of Gondwanaland and Its Evolution Using Teleseismic Receiver Function

Lithosphere, 2022
The Gondwana supercontinent was an accretion of several cratons from different landmasses, namely South America, Antarctica, Africa, Madagascar, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent.

Record of Crustal Thickening and Synconvergent Extension from the Dajiamang Tso Rift, Southern Tibet

Geosciences, 2021
North-trending rifts throughout south-central Tibet provide an opportunity to study the dynamics of synconvergent extension in contractional orogenic belts.

Crustal structure and rift flank uplift of the Adare Trough, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2005
The Adare Trough, located 100 km northeast of Cape Adare, Antarctica, represents the extinct third arm of a Tertiary spreading ridge between East and West Antarctica. It is characterized by pronounced asymmetric rift flanks elevated up to over 2 km above

Spatial and Temporal Variations in Crustal Structure in the Eurasian Basin

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
To understand the tectonic–magmatic history, crustal structure and crustal accretion mode of the Eurasian Basin in the Arctic, we calculated the crustal thickness, residual bathymetry (RB) and non-isostatic topography of the Eurasian Basin by using the ...
