Surface waves are now being used by several groups to map lateral heterogeneity [Nakanishi and Anderson, 1982, 1983, 1984a, b; Woodhouse and Dziewonski, 1984] and anisotropy [Tanimoto and Anderson, 1984a, b; Nataf et al. 1984] of the upper mantle on a global basis.

On crustal corrections in surface wave tomography [PDF]
SUMMARY Mantle models from surface waves rely on good crustal corrections. We investigated how far ray theoretical and finite frequency approximations can predict crustal corrections for fundamental mode surface waves. Using a spectral element method, we calculated synthetic seismograms in transversely isotropic PREM and in the 3-D crustal model ...

Regional-scale joint seismic body- and surface-wave travel time tomography
To make full use of seismograms to put tight constraints on the structure of subsurface and earthquake sources has always been the research focus in seismology.

TRANSVERSE ISOTROPIC CRUST STRUCTURE BENEATH THE NORTHWEST AND CENTRAL NORTH ANATOLIA REVEALED BY SEISMIC SURFACE WAVES PROPAGATION [PDF]
The Anatolian crust, which is abnormally hot, is widely deformed by subduction related volcanism. Suture zones, transform faults, thrusts and folds and metamorphic core complexes add to the geological complexity.

Smoothness criteria in surface wave tomography [PDF]
SUMMARY We discuss and develop further the methods of surface wave tomography in the frame of the geometric ray approximation. The general approach for determining the lateral phase or group velocity distribution, which is a standard 2-D tomography problem, involves linearization, representation of the unknown function as a series in some basis ...

The oceanic lithosphere is a primary component of the plate tectonic system, yet its evolution and its asthenospheric interaction have rarely been quantified by in situ imaging at slow spreading systems.

Joint Inversion of Surface Wave Tomography and Body Wave Tomography Applied to 2D Media
Summary Surface Wave Tomography is used to obtain a shear wave velocity model by inverting computed dispersion curves. Body Wave Tomography is used to obtain a longitudinal wave model through travel time inversion of picked first break travel times. Individual inversions suffer from various different limitations.

An SVD in Spherical Surface Wave Tomography [PDF]
In spherical surface wave tomography, one measures the integrals of a function defined on the sphere along great circle arcs. This forms a generalization of the Funk--Radon transform, which assigns to a function its integrals along full great circles.

Identifying recharge under subtle ephemeral features in a flat-lying semi-arid region using a combined geophysical approach [PDF]
Identifying and quantifying recharge processes linked to ephemeral surface water features is challenging due to their episodic nature. We use a combination of well-established near-surface geophysical methods to provide evidence of a surface and ...
