An extensive compilation of crustal thicknesses is used to develop crustal models in
continental South America. We consider point crustal thicknesses from seismic refraction …

Elastic anisotropy is present where the speed of a seismic wave depends on its direction. In
Earth's mantle, elastic anisotropy is induced by minerals that are preferentially oriented in a …

We describe and apply an iterative, time-domain deconvolution approach to receiver-
function estimation and illustrate the reliability and advantages of the technique using …

The Tibetan plateau is bounded in part by cratonic blocks, and in part by tectonothermally
younger and weaker crust. How the Tibetan plateau interacts with bordering non-cratonic …

DECIPHERING the geological evolution of the Earth's continental crust requires knowledge
of its bulk composition and global variability. The main uncertainties are associated with the …

The purpose of this book is to get a practical understanding of the most common processing
techniques in earthquake seismology. The book deals with manual methods and computer …

Hardly a week passes without our learning of natural geologic disaster somewhere in the
world, be it a volcanic eruption, landslide, or destructive earthquake. The prominent public …

The use of broadband receiver function analysis to estimate the fine-scale S-velocity
structure of the lithosphere is becoming increasingly popular. A series of numerical …

Southwest (SW) China is located in a transition site from the active Tibetan Plateau to the
stable Yangtze craton, which has complicated tectonic deformation and severe seismic …

Sp and Ps converted seismic waves at 93 permanent seismic stations are used to image
upper mantle velocity discontinuities across the contiguous United States and portions of …
