Figure 4: Calculated reflection coefficient (C r) for R2 for P–P reflections plotted against incidence angle, and interpretation carton of the LAB. For the image in Fig. 3a we conducted a ...

Two SHIPS seismic reflection lines crossed the Seattle fault zone, which comprises a number of individual fault splays, line PS-1 in the west and line PS-2 in the east close to downtown Seattle (Fig 1 ...

Precise determination of the thickness of the continental lithosphere and the magnitude and depth range of the velocity gradient at its base has proved challenging with existing seismic techniques.

The new paper takes advantage of the fact that seismic waves also bounce back. Thus a seismometer close to the epicenter could detect the reflection of the wave that traveled through the Earth and ...
