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

Crustal structure beneath broad-band seismic stations in the Mediterranean region [PDF]

, 2017
We have analysed receiver functions to derive simple models for crustal structure below 12 broad-band seismological stations from the MIDSEA project and 5 permanent broad-band stations in the Mediterranean region including northern Africa.

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 ...

Crustal Structure of Hainan Island and Surrounding Seabed Based on High-Resolution Airborne Gravity

Applied Sciences
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 ...

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 (

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.

Crustal structure and apparent tectonic underplating from receiver function analysis in South Island, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2008
We utilize seismic converted phases on more than 700 receiver functions calculated for 42 stations in the South Island, New Zealand, to infer crustal and uppermost mantle structure.

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 ...
