Shear wave splitting measurements now allow us to examine deformation in the lithosphere
and upper asthenosphere with lateral resolution< 50 km. In an anisotropic medium, one …

Unlike in the ocean basins where the shallow mantle eventually contributes to the
destruction of the overlying crust, the shallow mantle beneath continents serves as a stiff …

The global Archean record preserves ca. 35 large cratonic fragments and a less well defined
number of smaller slivers. Most Archean cratons display rifted margins of Proterozoic age …

P-to-S converted teleseismic waves recorded by temporary broadband networks across
Tibet show a north-dipping interface that begins 50 kilometers north of the Zangbo suture at …

Presenting a coherent synthesis of lithosphere studies, this book covers a range of
geophysical methods (seismic reflection, refraction, and receiver function methods; elastic …

We apply the newly proposed wave equation‐based receiver function poststack migration
method to the Northern China Interior Structure Project broadband data to image the …

Seismic stratification of the upper mantle is investigated by applying two complementary
techniques to the records of the Graefenberg array in southern Germany. The anisotropic P …

Teleseismic P waves are followed by a series of scattered waves, particularly P-to-S
converted phases, that form a coda. The sequence of scattered waves on the horizontal …

Heavy-mineral concentrates (garnets, chromites) and xenoliths from 21 Cretaceous–Tertiary
kimberlite intrusions have been used to map the lithospheric mantle beneath the Lac de …

Lithoprobe deep seismic reflection data from the northwestern Canadian Shield provide
images of structures to the base of the lithosphere between the Archean Slave Province on …
