All China Seismic Structure Seismic Imaging Method
Simultaneous inversion for surface wave phase velocity and earthquake centroid parameters
Our goals are two folds: 1) to develop and test a strategy of combining seismic ambient noise and regional earthquake surface wave data in constraining seismic structure of the Earth and 2) to provide high-resolution phase velocity maps and earthquake centroid parameters in the North South Seismic Belt region in the continental China and gain insights on evolutional histories of the region.

Shallow seismic structure beneath the contiental China
Goal of this project are two folds: 1) understanding the compositional and thermal states of bedrocks in the upper crust of the Contiental China and 2) constructing a reference shallow seismic model for future studies of imaging deeper seismic structure.

Shallow seismic structure beneath China revealed by P wave polarization, Rayleigh wave ellipticity and receiver function

  1. We develope a new method to constrain shallow seismic structure based on P polarization, Rayleigh wave ellipticity and receiver function.
  2. We construct a high-resolution shallow 3D seismic model in the top 10 km of the upper crust in the continental Cina.
  3. Our 3D seismic model has a spatial resolution of $0.6^°-1.2^°$ in the north-south seismic belt and the trans-north China orogen, and $1^°-2^°$ in the rest of the continental China (except the Tarim basin and the southwest Tibet).
