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

Using Tidally‐Driven Elastic Strains to Infer Regional Variations in Crustal Thickness at Enceladus

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Constraining the spatial variability of the thickness of the ice shell of Enceladus (i.e., the crust) is central to our understanding of the internal dynamics and evolution of this small Saturnian moon.

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.

The crustal thickness of West Antarctica [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2014
P‐to‐S receiver functions (PRFs) from the Polar Earth Observing Network (POLENET) GPS and seismic leg of POLENET spanning West Antarctica and the Transantarctic Mountains deployment of seismographic stations provide new estimates of crustal thickness across West Antarctica, including the West Antarctic Rift System (WARS), Marie Byrd Land (MBL) dome ...

Gravity‐Derived Antarctic Crustal Thickness Based on the Gauss‐FFT Method

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The information on crustal thickness in Antarctica can provide significant constraints on its crustal deformation and tectonic evolution. To generate reliable images of crustal features, we investigate the model of Moho depth and crustal thickness ...

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 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.
