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.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Using recently collected high‐resolution seismic data along a dense linear transect across Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia (called Mid‐Atlantic Geophysical Integrative Collaboration (MAGIC) profile), we analyze P‐to‐S receiver functions to investigate ...

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.

Basis Pursuit Receiver Function [PDF]
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2014 Abstract Receiver functions (RFs) are derived by deconvolution of the horizontal (radial or transverse) component of ground motion from the vertical component, which segregates the PS phases. Many methods have been proposed to employ deconvolution in frequency as well as in time domain. These methods vary in their approaches to impose regularization

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 ...

Seismological reference earth model in South China (SREM-SC): Crust and uppermost mantle
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 The South China Block is located on the eastern margin of the Eurasian Plate and the western margin of the Pacific Plate. The South China Block is currently in a tectonically compressed environment, while the Tibetan Plateau is moving eastward and the ...

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021 The contribution of mantle upwellings of varying spatial extent to Cenozoic magmatism across Africa is debated because geochemical and seismological tools used to interrogate them are primarily sensitive to either composition or temperature ...

Seismic evidence of the Hainan mantle plume by receiver function analysis in southern China
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 The Lei‐Qiong region is the largest igneous province in southern China and may be a surface expression of a mantle plume beneath the region (the Hainan mantle plume).
