Crustal stress across the northern Arabian plate and the relationship with the plate boundary forces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)The region encompassing the collision of northern Arabia with Eurasia is a tectonically heterogeneous region of distributed deformation. The northern Arabia plate is bounded to the west by the subducting Sinai plate and ... -
Receiver function study in northeast Tibet and adjacent boundaries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)As part of the NorthEast Tibetan plateau Seismic (NETS) project, we performed receiver functions analysis across the northeastern Tibetan plateau and adjacent boundaries. Using the data of about 500 events obtained from ... -
Regional site response and uppermost mantle seismic structure of central and eastern united states
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)This dissertation examines seismological data from regional earthquake sources in order to examine the seismological character of the crust and uppermost mantle in central and eastern United States. Firstly, site amplification ... -
Seismic anisotropy beneath the southern Puna Plateau
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The central Andean plateau is a prime region to study mantle flow above an active plateau margin, where it has been suggested that a link exists between plateau uplift and removal of the lower crust and lithospheric mantle. ... -
Seismic attenuation of regional phases in the northern Middle East and eastern Tibetan plateau
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Temperature and composition are two major causes for subsurface seismic anomalies. Positive temperature anomalies will lead to a reduction in both attenuation and velocity; however, compositional anomalies should not ... -
Seismic attenuation of regional phases in the northern Middle East and the Tibetan Plateau
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] I study the regional seismic phase attenuation to (1) infer rheology and temperature of the crust and uppermost mantle and to (2) develop reliable and ... -
Seismic studies in the Southern Puna Plateu and the Peruvian Andes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)I present three studies in two regions, both within the Central Andes. In both regions it is clear that there are significant variations in the subduction geometry. I have used surface wave tomography to investigate the ... -
Seismic tomography and anisotropy : studies of intraplate seismic zones
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Both body and surface wave tomography has been applied to some significant intraplate seismic zones to explore the cause of intraplate earthquakes. Pn tomography in the Central and Eastern United States reveals that the ... -
Sn attenuation in the Northeast China

Two-plane wave tomography and lithospheric structure beneath eastern Tibet
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)This dissertation focuses on two specific research topics: First, I study the lithospheric structure beneath E. Tibetan Plateau, using new data from INDEPTH-IV (INternational Deep Profiling of Tibet and the Himalayas) ... -
Upper mantle shear wave velocity structure of the east Anatolian-Caucasus region
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)In the present dissertation, I describe two studies of the regional upper mantle shear wave velocity structure. In order to derive the absolute velocity structure of the upper mantle, I have applied surface wave tomography ... -
Uppermost mantle shear wave attenuation in China
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] We have used attenuation tomography of the regional seismic phase Sn to characterize the uppermost mantle shear wave Q (Qs) over a large part of China. ...
