Crustal structure beneath China from receiver function analysis

Abstract: [1] We collected and processed a large amount of high-quality broadband teleseismic waveform data recorded by the 48 Chinese National Digital Seismic Network stations to estimate large-scale lateral variations of crustal thickness and V p /V s ratio (hence Poisson's ratio) beneath China. A statistical method was used to select mutually coherent receiver functions at each station, which yielded over 200 traces for most of the stations. With the conventional HÀk (the crustal thickness and V p /V s ratio) approac… Show more

“…Along the coastal region of the South China and Indochina, there is a high gradient transition zone with $20-30 km Moho depth. To the north and west of this zone, the typical continental Moho with the burial depth ranging from 30 to 40 km is observed, matching exactly with the estimates by Wu et al (2004) and other results (Zeng et al, 1997;Hu et al, 2005;Zhang and Wang, 2007;Chen et al, 2010). The crustal thickness near the eastern Tibet and Yangtze Block increases dramatically to greater than 50 km, which is very similar to the previous findings (e.g., Yao et al, 2008).…”

“…The S-velocity 4.00 km/s is an optimal criterion which is determined by searching the best fit between the Moho depths derived from receiver functions (Bai et al, 2010;Chen et al, 2010;Wang et al, 2010;Kieling et al, 2011) and the S-velocity contours derived from the S-velocity model. Thus the depth of the 4.00 km/s contour closely corresponds to Moho depth over much of the region.…”
