Scattering of regional Pn by Moho Topography
The often observed relatively large amplitudes in the later part of the Pn signal cannot be explained with the traditional interpretation of Pn in 1‐D crust‐mantle models. To determine the cause of these characteristics we have analyzed in some detail the NORESS array records of Pn from a suite of quarry blasts in S.W. Norway.

S‐velocity model and inferred Moho topography beneath the Antarctic Plate from Rayleigh waves [PDF]
AbstractSince 2007/2008, seismographs were deployed in many new locations across much of Antarctica. Using the records from 122 broadband seismic stations, over 10,000 Rayleigh wave fundamental‐mode dispersion curves have been retrieved from earthquake waveforms and from ambient noise.

A local lithospheric structure model for Vietnam derived from a high-resolution gravimetric geoid
High-resolution Moho and lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary depth models for Vietnam and its surrounding areas are determined based on a recently released geoid model constructed from surface and satellite gravity data (GEOID_LSC_C model) and on 3ʹʹ ...

Global crustal thickness from neural network inversion of surface wave data [PDF]
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 ...

Moho Beneath Tibet Based on a Joint Analysis of Gravity and Seismic Data
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.
