“…In general gravity data gives a regional picture of scanned area (Caku et al, 2020;Han et al, 2020;Li et al, 2010;Zafar et al, 2022). the regionally mapped bouguer anomaly calculated from field gravity data is an expression of the accumulative density contrast from core to crust of the observation site (Sheng et al, 2018;Wei and Yang, 2006;Zafar et al, 2019Zafar et al, , 2022. However, in order to amplify the effects of near surface features on gravity data further processing of the data is needed.…”

“…However, in order to amplify the effects of near surface features on gravity data further processing of the data is needed. These impacts can be highlighted using 1st order vertical derivative or the residuals separation from the regional data (Zafar et al, 2019(Zafar et al, , 2022Li et al, 2010). This regional to residual separation can be performed by using different tools and filters.…”

“…This regional to residual separation can be performed by using different tools and filters. The available filter of residual separation in Oasis Montaj GM can be applied with little modification in tolerance and preset band pass level when large data span is being used (Zafar et al, 2022(Zafar et al, , 2019.…”

This study presents the coherently stacked P-wave receiver functions and bouguer anomaly mapping of Western Himalayas (longitude 71°-74°E and latitude 31°-34°N ) to estimate crustal thickness. Data used for Pwave receiver function is from local seismic network of Pakistan whereas, gravity data is extracted from Topex available in public domain for research. The crust thickness and average crust Vp/Vs ratio at each station of the network is obtained by coherently stacking the Ps, PpPs, PpSs + PsPs phases of 15 seismic stations. The data used in this study was collected from 2012 to 2019, events with magnitudes mb ≥ 6 and epicenteral distances 30°to 95°were chosen. There is a significant difference in Moho depth beneath the broadband seismic stations used for the investigations. Moho depth mapping: A case study of Western HimalayasMoho depth is 36 km in the south, on average 46 km in the center, and 52 km at the northernmost seismic station of the study area. In general, the crust is dipping from South to North for the study area. In order to support this interpreted argument of moho-depth variation from P-Wave receiver function, residual calculation of bouguer anomaly data was carried out as well. The residuals showing a variation of anomalous data from -89 to 193 mGal in study area have presented a promising correlation and favored the argument of crustal dipping as suggested by P-wave function from seismic network. The trend confirms that the crustal thickening and shortening is caused by the collision of Indian and Asian plates.

In order to support this interpreted argument of moho-depth variation from the P-wave receiver function, residual calculation of Bouguer anomaly data was carried out as well. The residuals showing a variation of anomalous data from -89 to 193 mGal in the study area have presented a good correlation and favored the argument of crustal dipping as suggested by the P-wave function from the seismic network. The trend confirms that the crustal thickening and shortening are caused by the collision of Indian and Asian plates.
