Future accreted terranes: a compilation of island arcs, oceanic plateaus, submarine ridges, seamounts, and continental fragments [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2014 Allochthonous accreted terranes are exotic geologic units that originated from anomalous crustal regions on a subducting oceanic plate and were transferred to the overriding plate by accretionary processes during subduction. The geographical regions that

Fully nonlinear inversion of fundamental mode surface waves for a global crustal model [PDF]
, 2007 We use neural networks to find 1-dimensional marginal probability density functions (pdfs) of global crustal parameters. The information content of the full posterior and prior pdfs can quantify the extent to which a parameter is constrained by the data.

Variation in thermal structure with crustal thickness for the crust beneath the Peninsular Malaysia
Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2023 We present a regional thermal structure as well as a new crustal thickness model beneath the Peninsular Malaysia and the surrounding regions. Curie point depth estimates for the entire area range between ∼ 17 – 46 km with a mean of 29 km.

Crustal structure of the Borderland-Continent Transition Zone of southern California adjacent to Los Angeles [PDF]
, 2003 We use data from the onshore-offshore component of Los Angeles Region Seismic Experiment (LARSE) to model the broad-scale features of the midcrust to upper mantle beneath a north-south transect that spans the continental borderland in the Los Angeles ...

Regional mapping of the crustal structure in southern California from receiver functions [PDF]
, 2007 Lateral variations of the crustal structure in southern California are determined from receiver function (RF) studies using data from the Southern California Seismic Network broadband stations and Los Angeles Regional Seismic Experiment surveys.

The effective elastic thickness of the India Plate from receiver function imaging, gravity anomalies and thermomechanical modelling [PDF]
, 2006 The range and the meaning of the effective elastic thickness (EET) in continental areas have been subject to controversy over the last two decades. Here we take advantage of the new data set from the Hi-CLIMB seismological experiment to re-estimate the ...

Deformation and exhumation in thick continental crusts induced by valley incision of elevated plateaux [PDF]
Solid EarthSurface processes such as erosion and sedimentation play a critical role in crustal deformation, particularly in actively deforming orogenic belts. While these processes have been extensively studied in large-scale erosive and tectonically active regions,

Qinghai-Tibet Plateau crustal thickness derived from EGM2008 and CRSUT2.0
Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2014 Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the most complex region for crustal thickness inversion, while high-resolution earth gravity model (EGM) makes it possible to obtain high precision gravity anomaly, which is a key parameter to depict the Earth’s inner structure ...
