Moho Interface Modeling Beneath the Himalayas, Tibet and Central Siberia Using GOCO02S and DTM2006.0
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2013 We apply a newly developed method to estimate the Moho depths and density contrast beneath the Himalayas, Tibet and Central Siberia. This method utilizes the combined least-squares approach based on solving the inverse problem of isostasy and using the ...

Estimating crustal thickness in Belgium using Moho-reflected waves [PDF]
, 2007 We present the results of the determination of the Moho depth underneath Belgium using reflected P and S-waves (PmP- and SmS-waves). Previous studies suggest differences of the Moho depth in the different parts of the region. In the lower Rhine Embayment

Depth-dependent density change within the continental upper mantle
Contributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, 2012 The empirical model of the depth-dependent density change within the upper continental mantle is derived in this study. The density of the upper(most) mantle underlying the continental crust is obtained from the estimated values of the crust–mantle (Moho)

Tectonic evolution of a continental collision zone: A thermomechanical numerical model [PDF]
, 2004 We model evolution of a continent-continent collision and draw some parallels with the tectonic evolution of the Himalaya. We use a large-scale visco-plasto-elastic thermomechanical model that has a free upper surface, accounts for erosion and deposition

Gravimetric determination of the continental oceanic boundary of the Argentine continental margin (from 36°S to 50°S) [PDF]
, 2016 This paper presents the gravimetric analysis together with seismic data as an integral application in order to identify the continental?oceanic crust boundary (COB) of the Argentine continental margin from 36◦S to 50◦S in a continuous way.

The distribution of Moho depths beneath the Arabian plate and margins
Tectonophysics, 2013 In this study three new maps of Moho depths beneath the Arabian plate and margins are presented. The first map is based on the combined gravity model, EIGEN 06C, which includes data from satellite missions and ground-based studies, and thus covers the whole region between 31 degrees E and 60 inverted perpendicular E and between 12 degrees N and 36 ...

Progress in Earth and Planetary ScienceThis study aims to quantify the topography of the Moho boundary, the lower crust and uppermost mantle contact of Egypt, in order to estimate the crustal thickness variation and its link to the distribution of thermal anomalies under Egypt.

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 ...

Relation between crustal stress and thickness of earth's crust [PDF]
Podzemni Radovi, 2019 Available models for estimation of crustal stress consider the vertical stress component as weight of above laying rocks, while horizontal stress components are estimated as function of vertical component.

Contributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, 2009 We investigate globally the correlation of the step-wise consolidated crust- stripped gravity field quantities with the topography, bathymetry, and the Moho bound- ary. Global correlations are quantified in terms of Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
