Crustal structure and rift flank uplift of the Adare Trough, Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The Adare Trough, located 100 km northeast of Cape Adare, Antarctica, represents the extinct third arm of a Tertiary spreading ridge between East and West Antarctica. It is characterized by pronounced asymmetric rift flanks elevated up to over 2 km above

Moho Depth Derived from Gravity Data in the Taiwan Strait Area

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2010
We have constructed are gional Bouguer gravity anomaly map using marine and land data from Tai wan and the Chinese province of Fuchien, as well as SEASAT altimetry-de rived gravity data for the Tai wan Strait and its surrounding area.

Active megadetachment beneath the western United States [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Geodetic data, interpreted in light of seismic imaging, seismicity, xenolith studies, and the late Quaternary geologic history of the northern Great Basin, suggest that a subcontinental-scale extensional detachment is localized near the Moho.

Crustal Thickness Variations and Tectonic Settings in the Southwest Cameroon Inferred from Gravity and Topography Data

open access: yesLithosphere, 2022
EIGEN 6C4 gravity anomalies are interpreted to determine the lateral and vertical variations in the crust and upper mantle structure and their influence on the isostasy of the coastal plain, transition zone between the Congo Craton (CC), the Pan-African ...

Depth determination of the Moho interface beneath the Tibetan plateau and other areas of China [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Determining the Moho topography using an improved inversion algorithm: a case study from the South China Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
The Parker-Oldenburg method, as a classical frequency-domain algorithm, has been widely used in Moho topographic inversion. The method has two indispensable hyperparameters, which are the Moho density contrast and the average Moho depth.

Crustal structure of the Borderland-Continent Transition Zone of southern California adjacent to Los Angeles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We use data from the onshore-offshore component of Los Angeles Region Seismic Experiment (LARSE) to model the broad-scale features of the midcrust to upper mantle beneath a north-south transect that spans the continental borderland in the Los Angeles ...

Gravity, Geoid, Isostasy and Moho Depth in the Ross Sea, Antarctica [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
In the framework of several international research projects performed in Ross Sea (Antarctica) in the last years marine gravity data, high resolution reflection seismic lines and deep seismic sounding profiles have been acquired.

Arc Heat Flow and Magmatic Heat Budgets

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract We evaluate hydrothermal heat loss from 11 volcanic‐arc segments (∼6,000 km of arc length, ∼10% of the global total), motivated by the observation that much magmatic heat ultimately crosses the land surface as heated aqueous fluid. Heat loss takes place by volcanic eruption, geothermal heat conduction to the surface, fumarolic (vapor ...

MOHV21: a least squares combination of five global Moho depth models

open access: yesJournal of Geodesy, 2022
AbstractThe purpose of this study is to determine MOHV21, a Moho depth model based on an optimal combination of five global seismic and gravimetric-isostatic models of Moho depth by a weighted least squares approach at a resolution of 1° × 1°. For proper weighting among the data, the study starts with determining (mostly missing) standard errors and ...
