Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic velocity structures in the southern California plate-boundary environment from double-difference tomography
Amir Allam,Yehuda Ben-Zion +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented tomographic images of crustal structures in the southern California plate-boundary area, with a focus on the San Jacinto fault zone (SJFZ), based on double-difference inversions of earthquake arrival times.
Journal ArticleDOI
PRYSM: An open-source framework for PRoxY System Modeling, with applications to oxygen-isotope systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive modeling framework for proxy systems, named PRYSM, which is based on water-isotope based climate proxies in ice cores, corals, tree ring cellulose, and speleothem calcite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic velocity structure in the Hot Springs and Trifurcation areas of the San Jacinto fault zone, California, from double-difference tomography
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented tomographic images of crustal velocity structures in the complex Hot Springs and Trifurcation areas of the San Jacinto Fault Zone (SJFZ) based on double-difference inversions of earthquake arrival times.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new algorithm for three‐dimensional joint inversion of body wave and surface wave data and its application to the Southern California plate boundary region
Hongjian Fang,Haijiang Zhang,Huajian Yao,Amir Allam,Amir Allam,Dimitri Zigone,Dimitri Zigone,Yehuda Ben-Zion,Clifford H. Thurber,Robert D. van der Hilst +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a joint inversion of body wave and surface wave data is proposed to get better 3D P wave (Vp) and S wave (Vs) velocity models by taking advantage of the complementary strengths of each data set.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constraints on the tectonic evolution of the westernmost Mediterranean and northwestern Africa from shear wave splitting analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use new broadband seismic data across the Gibraltar arc and into southern Morocco to infer azimuthal seismic anisotropy and flow patterns for the upper mantle based on shear wave splitting analysis.
