Moho Depth of Northern Baja California, Mexico, From Teleseismic Receiver Functions
Earth and Space Science, 2021 We estimated Moho depths from data recorded by permanent and temporary broadband seismic stations deployed in northern Baja California, Mexico, using the receiver function technique. This region is composed of two subregions of contrasting geological and

Convergent flow in a two-layer system and mountain building [PDF]
, 2010 With the purpose of modelling the process of mountain building, we investigate the evolution of the ridge produced by the convergent motion of a system consisting of two layers of liquids that differ in density and viscosity to simulate the crust and the

Marked lateral variations in the Moho topography below the Uttarakhand Himalaya (India)
, 2022 Abstract Utilizing broadband waveform data from 52 stations, we model the detailed crustal structure below the Uttrakhand Himalaya through the Common Conversion Point (CCP) staking of radial P- receiver functions and seismic velocity tomography. We detect marked lateral variations in the Moho depths dipping toward the east (i.e.

Scattering of regional Pn by Moho Topography
Geophysical Research Letters, 1991 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]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2015 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.

The effective elastic thickness of the India Plate from receiver function imaging, gravity anomalies and thermomechanical modelling [PDF]
, 2006 The range and the meaning of the effective elastic thickness (EET) in continental areas have been subject to controversy over the last two decades. Here we take advantage of the new data set from the Hi-CLIMB seismological experiment to re-estimate the ...
