Crustal structure beneath the Trondelag Platform and adjacent areas of the Mid-Norwegian margin, as derived from wide-angle seismic and potential field data [PDF]

, 2010
The outer mid-Norwegian margin is characterized by strong breakup magmatism and has been extensively surveyed. The crustal structure of the inner continental shelf, however, is less studied, and its relation to the onshore geology, Caledonian structuring,

Assessing the effects of model parameter assumptions on surface-wave inversion resultsKey points

Earthquake Science
Surface-wave inversion is a powerful tool for revealing the Earth’s internal structure. However, aside from shear-wave velocity (vS), other parameters can influence the inversion outcomes, yet these have not been systematically discussed.

A Seismically Active Shear Zone in the Uppermost Mantle Beneath the Canadian Rockies

Geophysical Research Letters
Continental mantle earthquakes are uncommon but hold important clues for understanding lithospheric rheology. Few of these earthquakes (

The Moho as a magnetic boundary [PDF]

Magnetic data are presented for mantle derived rocks: peridtites from St. Pauls rocks, dunite xenoliths from the kaupulehu flow in Hawaii, as well as peridolite, dunite and eclogite xenoliths from Roberts Victor, Dutoitspan, Kilbourne Hole, and San ...

A 3D Lithospheric Thermal Model of the South China Sea Jointly Constrained by Heat Flow, Curie-Point Depth and S-Wave Velocity

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
In this study, we develop a 3D thermal model of the South China Sea (SCS) lithosphere through the joint analysis of heat flow, Curie-point depth derived from magnetic anomalies, and shear wave velocity.

Seismicity and Ground Motion Simulations of the SW Iberia Margin [PDF]

, 2010
In this study, we focus on the region between Gorringe Bank and the Horseshoe Fault located in the SW Iberia margin, which is believed to be the site of the great 1755 earthquake.

Magnetic structure of the crust [PDF]

The bibuniqueness aspect of geophysical interpretation must be constrained by geological insight to limit the range of theoretically possible models. An additional step in depth understanding of the relationship between rock magnetization and geological ...
