Geophysical Research Letters, 2005 Pseudospectral 2D modeling of wave propagation provides a fresh look at receiver function data from the Hellenic subduction zone. It is shown that distinct Moho topography, which is suggested for this complex subduction environment from various geophysical data sets, can provide a conclusive explanation for previously observed “inverted” Moho phases in

Detailed Moho Topography Beneath the Southern Lhasa Terrane, Tibet by Receiver Functions
, 2008 The collision of the Indian and Asian plates since about 55Ma has created the most gigantic plateau with the thickest crust of the world. There is, however, no general agreement on the modes of the crustal thickening. Even the crustal thickness of the Tibetan plateau still remains poorly determined. While it is generally accepted that the Tibetan crust

High-precision earthquake locations in Switzerland using regional secondary arrivals in a 3-D velocity model [PDF]
, 2017 We present a new approach to relocate earthquakes in the greater western Alpine region using main crustal phases (Pg, Pn, PmP) that takes advantage of recent developments in P-wave velocity models and modelling of the Moho topography in the region, as ...

The western Alps : tomography, earthquake location and Moho topography
, 2016 Les Alpes occidentales, résultat de la collision entre la plaque Eurasie et le promontoire apulien de la plaque Afrique, traversent l'Europe sur près de 1200 km. C'est l'une des chaînes de montagnes les mieux étudiées au monde, notamment par des méthodes d'imagerie géophysique.

Applications of the transmitted Kirchhoff-Holmholtz method to transmitted body waves and possible structural effects at NTS [PDF]
, 1985 We extend the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral method to calculate acoustic potentials which transmit through three-dimensional warped boundaries. We specify the potentials on an arbitrary surface with Snell's law and plane-wave transmission coefficients and

Satellite magnetic modeling of north African hot spots [PDF]
The primary objectives of the MAGSAT mission was to measure the intensity and direction of magnetization of the Earth's crust. A significant effort was directed to the large crustal anomalies first delineated by the POGO mission.

Local and regional minimum 1D models for earthquake location and data quality assessment in complex tectonic regions: application to Switzerland [PDF]
, 2018 One-dimensional (1D) velocity models are still widely used for computing earthquake locations at seismological centers or in regions where three-dimensional (3D) velocity models are not available due to the lack of data of sufficiently high quality.

Shear wave structure of a transect of the Los Angeles basin from multimode surface waves and H/V spectral ratio analysis [PDF]
, 2020 We use broad-band stations of the ‘Los Angeles Syncline Seismic Interferometry Experiment’ (LASSIE) to perform a joint inversion of the Horizontal to Vertical spectral ratios (H/V) and multimode dispersion curves (phase and group velocity) for both ...
