Moho Beneath Tibet Based on a Joint Analysis of Gravity and Seismic Data
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020 We use the improved Parker‐Oldenburg's formulas that include a reference depth into the exponential term and employ the Gauss‐fast Fourier transform method to determine Moho depth beneath the Tibetan Plateau.

Global crustal thickness from neural network inversion of surface wave data [PDF]
, 2007 We present a neural network approach to invert surface wave data for a global model of crustal thickness with corresponding uncertainties. We model the a posteriori probability distribution of Moho depth as a mixture of Gaussians and let the various ...

Seismological structure of the 1.8 Ga Trans-Hudson Orogen of North America [PDF]
, 2016 Precambrian tectonic processes are debated: what was the nature and scale of orogenic events on the younger, hotter, and more ductile Earth? Northern Hudson Bay records the Paleoproterozoic collision between the Western Churchill and Superior plates—the ∼

Gravity-derived Moho map for Latvia [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2020 A precise understanding of crustal structure is essential to the fields of geodynamics, seismology and certain branches of geophysics. A boundary between the crust and the mantle is known as the MohoroviÄiÄ discontinuity, simply referred to as the â ...

Lithospheric 3D gravity modelling using upper-mantle density constraints: Towards a characterization of the crustal configuration in the North Patagonian Massif area, Argentina [PDF]
, 2017 The North Patagonian Massif is an Argentinean plateau that has an average height of 1200 m and stands from 500 to 700 m above the neighboring areas. During Paleogene, it suffered a sudden uplift of more than 1200 m without noticeable internal deformation;

Moho Depths of Antarctica: Comparison of Seismic, Gravity, and Isostatic Results [PDF]
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2019 AbstractThe lithospheric structure of Antarctica is still underexplored. Moho depth estimate studies are in disagreement by more than 10 km in several regions, including, for example, the hinterland of the Transantarctic Mountains. Taking account the sparseness of seismological stations and the nonuniqueness of potential field methods, inversions of ...

Depth determination of the Moho interface beneath the Tibetan plateau and other areas of China [PDF]
, 2016 We apply the adaptive moving window method of Sun et al. to the most recent catalog data and the data recorded by portable stations to construct the velocity structure of the crust and upper mantle, and to determine the depth of the Moho interface ...

Effective elastic thickness in the Central Andes. Correlation to orogenic deformation styles and lower crust high-gravity anomaly [PDF]
, 2018 Global studies have assessed the importance of elastic thickness (Te) on orogenic evolution, showing that the style and nature of upper crustal shortening are influenced by the inherited lithospheric strength. Thus, pioneer works have identified that the
