China Shallow Seismic Structure

May 20, 2021

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).
