New Constraints on the Calabrian Arc (Central Mediterranean) Geodynamics: High‐Resolution Imaging of Lithospheric and Upper Mantle Discontinuities From P and S Receiver Functions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract The Calabrian Arc subduction system (Central Mediterranean) is characterized by a deep and narrow (200 km) slab. Addressing the poorly understood link between shallow and deep mantle structures, we present the first high‐resolution mapping of crustal and upper mantle discontinuities across the Calabrian Arc and Southern Tyrrhenian basin.

Constrained gravity inversion unravels the Moho depth and tectonic patterns in China and its adjacent areas

Earth and Planetary Physics
The Mohorovicic discontinuity (Moho) boundary separating the Earth’s crust and mantle reflects the evolutionary trajectory of the Earth’s crust, yielding crucial insights into crustal formation, tectonic evolution, and profound dynamic processes. However,

Receiver function study of the Hellenic subduction zone: imaging crustal thickness variations and the oceanic Moho of the descending African lithosphere [PDF]

, 2017
We use data from recently installed broad-band seismographs on the islands of Crete, Gavdos, Santorini, Naxos and Samos in the Hellenic subduction zone to construct receiver function images of the crust and upper mantle from south of Crete into the ...

重力異常データのカラムインバージョンから見積もったモホ不連続面の形状 [PDF]

, 2004
We present an inversion method, called "column inversion", to retrieve two-dimensional variation of the depth to the Moho discontinuity from Bouguer gravity anomaly data, assuming that a density jump between the lower crust and upper mantle is regionally

Australia's Moho: A test of the usefulness of gravity modelling for the determination of Moho depth

Tectonophysics, 2013
Abstract In general, seismic methods provide a reliable way to image the crust–mantle interface, which is marked by a rapid increase in seismic velocity (the Moho). However, the coverage provided by seismic networks is necessarily limited due to access difficulties, and the cost and labour involved in collecting data.

Differential Craton Destruction Controlled by Fossil Structures in the Central North China Craton

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Craton evolution plays a fundamental role in stabilizing the continental lithosphere and the long‐term evolution of Earth's surface environment. The Shanxi Rift Zone (SRZ) within the North China Craton marks an ongoing craton destruction. Detailed lithospheric structure is essential to explain craton destruction.

Subparallel thrust and normal faulting in Albania and the roles of gravitational potential energy and rheology contrasts in mountain belts [PDF]

, 2009
The active tectonics of Albania and surrounding regions, on the eastern margin of the Adriatic Sea, is characterized by subparallel thrust and normal faulting which, we suggest, is likely to be related to gravitational potential energy contrasts between ...

Distinct Crustal Structure Across the Alpine Fault, New Zealand: Seismic Imaging of a Through‐Going Vertical Fault Beneath Its Central Section

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The Alpine Fault (Aotearoa New Zealand) is a major plate boundary transform fault, that quasi‐periodically hosts large (M7‐8) to great (M8+) earthquakes. The fault is thought to be segmented with sections rupturing both individually and in combination.

New Moho depth map for the wider Dinarides region [PDF]

, 2019
We present a new crustal thickness map for the wider Dinarides region. The map was constructed from the results of receiver function analyses on more than 90 seismic stations installed in this area, including the newly available AlpArray stations. Moho depth was measured using two methods, simple H − κ stacking and a more complex inversion process ...

Probing layered arc crust in the Lesser Antilles using receiver functions [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Oceanic arcs can provide insight into the processes of crustal growth and crustal structure. In this work, changes in crustal thickness and composition along the Lesser Antilles Arc (LAA) are analysed at 10 islands using receiver function (RF) inversions
