The success of plate tectonics required an acceptance of continental drift, and thus a
reinterpretation of the large-scale geological history of most of the Earth. But the basic tenet …

Vertical-incidence reflection profiling has identified several characteristic features of the
continental lithosphere including a generally transparent upper crust, a reflective lower crust …

The number of broadband three‐component seismic stations in southern California has
more than tripled recently. In this study we use the teleseismic receiver function technique to …

We iteratively improve a 3-D tomographic model of the southern California crust using
numerical simulations of seismic wave propagation based on a spectral-element method …

All normal-fault systems must terminate both along and orthogonal to strike. As many as four
terminations may be associated with a single culmination. Most normalfault systems …

During the latest Cretaceous-early Paleogene Laramide orogeny, the lithosphere beneath
the southernmost Sierra Nevada batholith and the adjacent Mojave Desert region batholith …

Crustal structure along a 140 km long profile across the San Andreas Fault (SAF) in
southern California was imaged by stacking teleseismic P–S converted phases recorded by …

Geologic map** of active to recently active geologic structures in Panamint Valley
(western United States) and in the Haiyuan region and northern Tibetan plateau (China) …

New three‐dimensional (3‐D) VP and VP/VS models are determined for southern California
using P and S‐P travel times from local earthquakes and controlled sources. These models …

Eclogites are commonly believed to be highly susceptible to delamination and sinking into
the mantle from lower crustal metamorphic environments. We discuss the production of a …
