Lithospheric thinning in the Eastern Indian Craton: Evidence for lithospheric delamination below the Archean Singhbhum Craton?
28
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present shear velocity structure extending down to 300 km depth below the Archean Singhbhum-Odisha Craton (SOC) and Proterozoic Chotanagpur granitic-gneissic terrain (CGGT), which has been obtained through the inversion modeling of P-receiver functions.

- 31 Oct 2018
TL;DR: In this article, a review of various models of the LAB and the mid-lithosphere discontinuity in the old continents and the oceanic lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB) at relatively shallow depth is presented.

Geopotential evidence of a missing lithospheric root beneath the eastern Indian shield: An integrated approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the terrestrial Bouguer gravity anomaly, and satellite-based free-air anomaly, geoid undulation, and elevation data to ascertain the 2D lithospheric density structure across the region.

Variations in crustal and lithospheric structure across the Eastern Indian Shield from passive seismic source imaging: Implications to changes in the tectonic regimes and crustal accretion through the Precambrian
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a well-constrained estimate of the crustal and lithospheric thickness characterizing different terranes of the Indian Shield (EIS) through the joint inversion of P-receiver functions (PRF) and fundamental mode group velocity dispersion data of Rayleigh waves (10-100 s).

Mesoarchean continental intraplate volcanism and sedimentation: The case of the Simlipal basin, Singhbhum Craton, eastern India
Md. Arif,Md. Arif,Sukanta Dey,Arvind Kumar Gond,Kequing Zong,Yongsheng Liu,Anirban Mitra,Aniruddha Mitra,Shushanta Sarangi +8 more
TL;DR: The origin of continental intraplate basalts, their role in crust-mantle interaction, and processes of formation of the associated sedimentary rocks have remained important research problems as mentioned in this paper, and little is known about the age of the basin, the nature of sediment source and source weathering, petrogenesis of the volcanic rocks, and the tectonic setting of the volcano-sedimentary assemblage.

Traveltimes for global earthquake location and phase identification
Brian Kennett,E. R. Engdahl +1 more
TL;DR: The Iasp91 traveltime tables as mentioned in this paper are derived from a radially stratified velocity model which has been constructed so that the times for the major seismic phases are consistent with the reported times for events in the catalogue of the International Seismological Centre (ISC) for the period 1964-1987.
Current plate motions
TL;DR: A global plate motion model, named NUVEL-1, which describes current plate motions between 12 rigid plates is described, with special attention given to the method, data, and assumptions used as discussed by the authors.

Nature and composition of the continental crust: A lower crustal perspective
TL;DR: In this article, a three-layer crust consisting of upper, middle, and lower crust is divided into type sections associated with different tectonic provinces, in which P wave velocities increase progressively with depth and there is a large variation in average P wave velocity of the lower crust between different type sections.

Seismic velocity structure and composition of the continental crust: A global view
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the structure of the continental crust based on the results of seismic refraction profiles and infer crustal composition as a function of depth by comparing these results with high pressure laboratory measurements of seismic velocity for a wide range of rocks that are commonly found in the crust.

Poisson's ratio and crustal seismology
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used compressional and shear wave velocities to calculate Poisson's ratios for 678 rocks and found a linear correlation of increasing Poisson ratio with decreasing SiO2 content for rocks with 55 to 75 wt % SiO 2.
