Seismic velocity structure and composition of the continental crust: A global view
Seismic techniques provide the highest‐resolution measurements of the structure of the crust and have been conducted on a worldwide basis. We summarize the structure of the cont...
Relationship between seismic P‐wave velocity and the composition of anhydrous igneous and meta‐igneous rocks
This study presents a new approach to quantitatively assess the relationship between the composition and seismic P‐wave velocity of anhydrous igneous and meta‐igneous rocks. We ...
Wide-angle seismic velocities in heterogeneous crust
Seismic velocities measured by wide-angle surveys are commonly used to constrain material composition in the deep crust. Therefore, it is important to understand how these veloc...
The nature of orogenic crust in the central Andes
The central Andes (16°–22°S) are part of an active continental margin mountain belt and the result of shortening of the weak western edge of South America between the strong lit...
The crustal thickness of Australia
We investigate the crustal structure of the Australian continent using the temporary broadband stations of the Skippy and Kimba projects and permanent broadband stations. We iso...
