Moho Depth Disposition of the Contiguous United States: A Multi‐Modal Data Driven Approach
Precise 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 ...

The 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake, low fault friction, and the crustal support of plate driving forces in India [PDF]
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

Estimating crustal thickness in Belgium using Moho-reflected waves [PDF]
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

Joint inversion of Rayleigh wave phase velocity and ellipticity using USArray: Constraining velocity and density structure in the upper crust [PDF]
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 ...

Joint inversion of local, regional and teleseismic data for crustal thickness in the Eurasia-Africa plate boundary region [PDF]
A new map for the Moho discontinuity (EAM02) in the Eurasia-Africa plate boundary region is presented. Reliable results have also been obtained for the southern and eastern Mediterranean Basin, the northern African coasts and the eastern Atlantic Ocean ...

Crustal fault reactivation facilitating lithospheric folding/buckling in the central Indian Ocean
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 ...

Crustal Structure of Hainan Island and Surrounding Seabed Based on High-Resolution Airborne Gravity
Hainan Island and its surrounding seabed are located at the intersection of the Eurasian, Indochina, and South China Sea tectonic plates with active Quaternary volcanism and intensive seismicity, such as the 7.6-magnitude earthquake that occurred in ...
