Harry Hess and sea-floor spreading [PDF]
, 1999 Harry Hess's hypothesis of sea-floor spreading brought together his long-standing interests in island arcs, oceanic topography, and the oceanic crust. The one unique feature of Hess's hypothesis was the origin of the oceanic crust as a hydration rind on ...

Moho Depth Disposition of the Contiguous United States: A Multi‐Modal Data Driven Approach
Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and ComputationPrecise determination of Moho depth is essential for understanding lithospheric deformation, lower crustal rheology, and crust‐mantle interactions. This study employs a Random Forest Regressor (RFR) model to predict Moho depth across the contiguous ...

Crustal fault reactivation facilitating lithospheric folding/buckling in the central Indian Ocean
, 1996 High-quality, normal-incidence seismic reflection data confirm that tectonic deformation in the central Indian Ocean occurs at two spatial scales: whole lithosphere folding with wavelengths varying between 100 and 300 km, and compressional reactivation ...

Rayleigh wave velocities and structural informations in Central Northern Italy
Annals of Geophysics, 1978 Rayleigh wave dispersion has been observed along the three profiles<br />Trieste-Olbia, Olbia-Bologna and Olbia-Bolzano, in central-northern Italy.<br />The interpretation of phase velocities indicates a crustal thickness increasing<br ...

Joint inversion of Rayleigh wave phase velocity and ellipticity using USArray: Constraining velocity and density structure in the upper crust [PDF]
, 2012 Rayleigh wave ellipticity, or H/V ratio, observed on the surface is particularly sensitive to shallow earth structure. In this study, we jointly invert measurements of Rayleigh wave H/V ratio and phase velocity between 24–100 and 8–100 sec period ...

The 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake, low fault friction, and the crustal support of plate driving forces in India [PDF]
, 2011 We present a source model for the 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake of northwest India. The slip distribution suggests a high stress drop (~35 MPa) and, together with the depth distribution of aftershocks, that the entire crust is seismogenic. We suggest that
