Global Patterns in Cratonic Mid‐Lithospheric Discontinuities From Sp Receiver Functions
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 The goal of this study is to constrain the origins of layering in the seismic velocity structure within the cratonic mantle lithosphere (i.e. mid‐lithospheric discontinuities [MLDs]).

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2015 An upper mantle seismic discontinuity (the Gutenberg or G discontinuity), at which shear wave velocity decreases with depth, has been mapped from S‐to‐p conversions in radial receiver functions recorded across the Galápagos Archipelago. The mean depth of

Estimation of Plunge Value in Single- or Multi-Layered Anisotropic Media Using Analysis of Fast Polarization Direction of Shear Waves [PDF]
Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2018 Estimation of the fast polarization direction of shear seismic waves that deviate from horizontal axis is a valuable approach to investigate the characteristics of the lower crust and uppermost mantle structures.

Strategic information transmission and stochastic orders [PDF]
, 2012 I develop new results on uniqueness and comparative statics of equilibria in the Crawford and Sobel (1982) strategic information transmission game. For a class of utility functions, I demonstrate that logconcavity of the density implies uniqueness of ...

Seismic evidence for tearing in the subducting Indian slab beneath the Andaman arc
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Segmentation of a subduction zone through tearing is envisaged as an inevitable consequence of the differential rate of slab rollback along the strike of convergent plate boundaries.

Regional mapping of the crustal structure in southern California from receiver functions [PDF]
, 2007 Lateral variations of the crustal structure in southern California are determined from receiver function (RF) studies using data from the Southern California Seismic Network broadband stations and Los Angeles Regional Seismic Experiment surveys.

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2012 A complete characterization of seismic anisotropy can yield powerful constraints on mantle flow and deformation. This is particularly important for the mantle wedge above subducting slabs, where the geometry of mantle flow remains poorly understood.

Crustal structure of southeast Australia from teleseismic receiver functions [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2021 In an effort to improve our understanding of the seismic character of the crust beneath southeast Australia and how it relates to the tectonic evolution of the region, we analyse teleseismic earthquakes recorded by 24 temporary and 8 permanent broadband ...

Receiver function summation without deconvolution [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2010 SUMMARY The separation of the structural effects below a seismic station from other effects like structures far away or from source–time functions is the fundamental problem of the receiver function technique. Two solutions of this problem have been suggested in the early days of the receiver function analysis. One is to model the complete wavefield
