Influence of crustal layering and thickness on co-seismic effects of Wenchuan earthquake

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2011
Using the PSGRN/PSCMP software and the fault model offered by USGS and on the basis of finite rectangular dislocation theory and the local layered wave velocity structures of the crust-upper-mantle, the influences of crustal layering and thickness on co ...

Anomalous surface waves from Lop Nor nuclear explosions: Observations and numerical modeling [PDF]

, 1998
Surface waves from the Chinese test site of Lop Nor are analyzed using long-period and broadband stations located at regional and teleseismic distances and at different azimuths. For most azimuths, strong Love waves between 0.02 and 0.045 Hz are observed

Moho Geometry of the Okinawa Trough Based on Gravity Inversion and Its Implications on the Crustal Nature and Tectonic Evolution

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The Okinawa Trough (OT) is an incipient back-arc basin, but its crustal nature is still controversial. Gravity inversion along with sediment and lithospheric mantle density modeling are used to map the regional Moho depth and crustal thickness variations

Effect of Re-impacting Debris on the Solidification of the Lunar Magma Ocean

, 2018
Anorthosites that comprise the bulk of the lunar crust are believed to have formed during solidification of a Lunar Magma Ocean (LMO) in which these rocks would have floated to the surface.

Crustal thickness in Antarctica from CHAMP gravimetry [PDF]

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2003
Abstract CHAMP, flying at an altitude of about 400 km, is the first of a new generation of satellites dedicated to Earth gravity field observation. The high-quality data have generated new gravity field models: EIGEN-1S in 2001, and EIGEN-2S more recently.

Resolving crustal thickness using SS waveform stacks [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 2010
We image lithospheric interfaces using variations in the character of SS waveform stacks, a method we term SS Lithospheric Interface Profiling (SSLIP). The variations are caused by reflected phases, that is, underside reflections (SS precursors) and topside multiples (SS reverberations), created at velocity discontinuities near the midpoint of the SS ...
