Mohammad Hosseini Dokht, Ramin
Mantle reflectivity structure provides critical information on the temperature and composition of the mantle. So far, these structures are obtained by independent analyses of amplitudes and timing information of reflected and converted seismic phases at mantle discontinuities. These approaches...

The development of dense, broadband seismic network provides a solid foundation for the implementation of a variety of seismic imaging methods. The integration of receiver function method and finite-frequency traveltime tomography offers high-resolution images of the crust and upper mantle...

Regional reflectivity analyses of the upper mantle using SS precursors and receiver functions
DownloadFall 2012
SS precursor imaging and receiver function analysis allow for a detailed investigation of mantle structure of the Earth and subduction dynamics due to their sensitivities to the sharp velocity contrasts within the mantle. By investigating the lateral depth variability of mantle seismic...

Seismic Imaging of the Sedimentary and Upper Crustal Structures of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin
DownloadFall 2023
Secondary converted waves from receiver functions are highly sensitive to physical properties below the Earth’s surface. When modeled properly, the waveforms of converted waves offer direct constraints on the impedance contrast, depth, and P-to-S velocity ratio pertaining to sedimentary, crustal...
