Crustal imaging of the Northwest Himalaya and its foredeep region from teleseismic events

Abstract: Over 450 receiver functions from 8 broadband stations located in the IndoGangetic plain and Northwest Himalayan region are analyzed to examine the crustal properties across the contiguous region. We identified the P-to-S phase beneath each station and estimated the crustal thickness from time delay of this phase with respect to the direct P arrival. With the help of the slant stacking technique, we determined bulk crustal chemical properties and validated our estimate of crustal thickness. The Moho was encount… Show more

“…The thickness and material properties (Vp, Vs, ρ) of each basin layer and the other regions including the Indian Shield and Himalaya are tabulated in Table 1. These values are consistent with the material properties reported in many other studies for the region [36,37,38]. Thus, our model integrates the effect of both shallow sediment layers and deep basin structure.…”

“…Initially, a group of seismic control points were selected based on previous studies (Wang et al, 2008a;Wang et al, 2008b;Zhang et al, 2009;Hazarika et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2014;Saikia et al, 2016;Murodov et al, 2018;Mandal et al, 2021). The spatial distribution of these points and their corresponding Moho depths are illustrated in Figure 7.…”
