Journal ArticleDOI
The TauP Toolkit: Flexible Seismic Travel-Time and Raypath Utilities
TL;DR: The method of Buland and Chapman (1983) provides significant progress toward this need by allowing for the computation of times and paths of any rays passing through arbitrary spherically symmetric velocity models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of crustal property variations for models of Tibetan plateau evolution
TL;DR: In this paper, shear-coupled teleseismic P waves sampling the interior of the Tibetan plateau provide evidence of systematic variations in crustal structure, suggesting that the crust of the northern plateau is partially melted due to high temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic evidence for an ancient rift beneath the Cumberland Plateau, Tennessee: A detailed analysis of broadband teleseismic P waveforms
TL;DR: In this article, a time domain inversion routine was used to determine the vertical velocity structure of the mid-period passband of Regional Seismic Test Network station RSCP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active foundering of a continental arc root beneath the southern Sierra Nevada in California
TL;DR: Viscous coupling between the crust and mantle is therefore apparently driving present-day surface subsidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shear wave anisotropy beneath the Tibetan Plateau
TL;DR: In this article, the authors deployed eleven broadband digital seismic stations across the central Tibetan Plateau in the first extensive passive-source experiment attempted within the Tibetan plateau and analyzed the characteristics of shear wave splitting in the upper mantle beneath the array.
