Inversion of Moho topography in Taiwan using improved Parker-Oldenburg method

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Taiwan is located at the junction between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate, with intense tectonic movements in the region. A more accurate Moho topography model is significant for the study of the intrinsic genesis within Taiwan’s orogenic

Moho Depth Estimation Beneath Tibet From Satellite Gravity Data Based on a Condensation Approach

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2021
We develop an algorithm for a Moho depth recovery from gravity and gravity gradiometry data and apply this method to estimate the Moho depth beneath the Tibetan Plateau.

Local Moho distribution in the eastern Mediterranean region from gravity inversion: eastern Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
This study investigates the variations of surface Moho inverted from Bouguer gravity data beneath the northwestern Arabian plate. The results were obtained by applying the 3DINVER program developed in a MATLAB environment using the Parker–Oldenburg ...

Moho Inversion by Gravity Anomalies in the South China Sea: Updates and Improved Iteration of the Parker‐Oldenburg Algorithm

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2023
The Moho is the interface between crust and mantle, and accurate location of the Moho is important for both resource exploration and deep earth condition and structural change investigations. The theory of the traditional Parker‐Oldenburg (P‐O) method is

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 ...

Reformulation of Parker–Oldenburg's method for Earth's spherical approximation

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 2020
SUMMARY Parker–Oldenburg's method is perhaps the most commonly used technique to estimate the depth of density interface from gravity data. To account for large density variations reported, for instance, at the Moho interface, between the ocean seawater density and marine sediments, or between sediments and the underlying bedrock, some ...

Moho depth inversion in the Tibetan Plateau from high-precision gravity data

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics, 2023
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the youngest orogenic belt resulting from a continental collision on the Earth. It is a natural laboratory for studying continental dynamics, such as continental convergence, plate subduction, and plateau uplift. Investigating

Inversion of satellite gravimetric data from Recôncavo-Tucano-Jatobá Basin System

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Geology, 2020
Density differences among subsurface rocks cause variations in the gravitational field of Earth, which is known as gravity anomaly. Interpretation of these gravity anomalies allows assessment of the probable depth and shape of the causative body.

Age, Depth, and Residual Depth Anomalies in the North Pacific: Implications for Thermal Models of the Lithosphere and Upper Mantle [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
We present an empirical basement depth versus age relation for the North Pacific Ocean, based on the statistical treatment of an ocean-wide gridded data set.

Uncertainties and shortcomings of ground surface temperature histories derived from inversion of temperature logs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Analysing borehole temperature data in terms of ground surface history can add useful information to reconstructions of past climates. Therefore, a rigorous assessment of uncertainties and error sources is a necessary prerequisite for the meaningful ...
