Abstract Crustal thickness (or Moho depth) is a key parameter for many geological and geophysical models. Despite this we have a limited number of measurements, typically from seismic receiver functions, to constrain variations in crustal thickness.

Imaging the Alpine Collision With Seismic Radial Anisotropy
Abstract The Alpine region and the adjacent Northern Apennines (NA) and Northern Dinarides record the complex tectonic evolution associated with the collision between the Eurasian and Adriatic plates. We combine Rayleigh and Love surface waves from ambient noise and earthquake data recorded at over 3,300 seismic stations to construct a high‐resolution ...

Abstract The horizontal surface motions of the Earth's crust induced by glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) are highly sensitive to lateral variations in Earth properties. We construct 3D GIA models by incorporating both varying elastic lithospheric thickness and lateral viscosity variations in the asthenosphere in a global, compressible, self ...

Abstract The anatomy of orogens is difficult to decipher as structural information is usually limited to surface and seismic data. Seismic properties are directionally dependent on anisotropic minerals, especially phyllosilicates. Due to tectonic complexity, the effect of anisotropy in seismic data is difficult to determine.

Intra‐Tessera Plains: Implications of Their Radar Properties for Surface Processes on Venus
Abstract Intra‐tessera plains are radar‐dark plains deposits that occur within tesserae. Their emplacement mechanism(s) and composition are poorly constrained, though they are hypothesized to be basaltic lava flows. Here, we map intra‐tessera plains within 16 different tesserae spanning various latitudes and elevations.
