Upper-Crustal Seismic Anisotropy in the Cantabrian Mountains (North Spain) from Shear-Wave Splitting and Ambient Noise Interferometry Analysis

Abstract: The upper-crustal anisotropy of the Cantabrian Mountains (North Spain) has been investigated using two independent but complementary methodologies: (a) shear-wave splitting and (b) ambient seismic noise interferometry. For this purpose, we have processed and compared seismic data from two networks with different scales and recording periods. The shear-wave splitting results show delay times between 0.06 and 0.23 s and spatially variable fast-polarization directions. We calculate that the anisotropic layer has … Show more

“…The seismic stations were equipped with Worldsensing-Spidernano data loggers in combination with three-component 2 Hz Geospace MiniSeisMonitor sensors. This deployment registered for 19 months, covering an area of 60 km × 50 km (López-Fernández et al, 2018;Acevedo et al, 2020). (2) Later, in May 2019, we installed a second seismic network covering a wider area in the Cantabrian Mountains (160 km × 80 km).…”

“…The role of the CF-VF as a crustal domain boundary structure applies to seismicity, practically absent to the East (Figures 2,4), and to lithospheric and crustal thickness variations based on seismic refraction data, potential field modeling, and tomographic studies (Villaseñor et al, 2007;Torne et al, 2015;Palomeras et al, 2017;López-Fernández et al, 2018;Acevedo et al, 2020).…”

“…The use of ambient noise interferometry is also beginning to provide knowledge about the structure of the upper crust in the study area (e.g. Acevedo et al, 2019Acevedo et al, , 2020Olivar et al, 2020).…”

“…Here we make use of the ambient noise recordings from a new temporary seismic network in NW Iberia to extend to the North and the West an earlier tomographic S-wave velocity model of the eastern sector of the CM (Acevedo et al, 2019), which was mostly affected by the Alpine deformation, and to further determine the 3-D distribution of the crustal radial anisotropy. From a subsequent work (Acevedo et al, 2020), we learnt that the crustal fabric controlled the orientation of fastest seismic velocities, sometimes in accordance with Variscan structures, others with Alpine structures. However, there was coincidence in the orientation of Variscan and Alpine structures, mostly by reworking during the youngest convergence.…”
