Gravity derived moho for south america

M Van der Meijde, J Julià, M Assumpção - Tectonophysics, 2013 - Elsevier
Abstract Crustal structure in South America is one of the least understood among the Earth's
continental areas. Variations in crustal thickness are still poorly constrained over large …

The role of crustal quartz in controlling Cordilleran deformation

AR Lowry, M Pérez-Gussinyé - Nature, 2011 - nature.com
Large-scale deformation of continents remains poorly understood more than 40 years after
the plate tectonic revolution. Rock flow strength and mass density variations both contribute …

Thermal structure and melting conditions in the mantle beneath the Basin and Range province from seismology and petrology

T Plank, DW Forsyth - Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
To better constrain the temperature structure in the upper mantle, we jointly invert seismic
surface wave velocities and basalt thermobarometry. New measurements of the water …

Surface wave phase-velocity tomography based on multichannel cross-correlation

G Jin, JB Gaherty - Geophysical Journal International, 2015 - academic.oup.com
We have developed a new method to retrieve seismic surface wave phase velocity using
dense seismic arrays. The method measures phase variations between nearby stations …
