Moho geometry gravity inversion experiment (MoGGIE): a refined model of the Australian Moho, and its tectonic and isostatic implications
ARA Aitken - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2010 - Elsevier
At the continent-scale, models of Moho depth based on seismic estimates alone can be
inadequate due to irregular or sparse data. Gravity-based Moho modelling provides better …

Super-deep reflection profiling: exploring the continental mantle lid
Reflections from the continental mantle lithosphere have now been reported from common
mid-point (CMP) profiles at numerous sites around the world. These reflections include:(1) …

Effect of lateral viscosity variations in the core-mantle boundary region on predictions of the long-wavelength geoid
O Čadek, L Fleitout - Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica, 2006 - Springer
Seismic studies of the lowermost mantle suggest that the core-mantle boundary (CMB)
region is strongly laterally heterogeneous over both local and global scales. These …

Spectral and classical methods in the evaluation of Moho undulations from gravity data: the NE Italian Alps and isostasy
C Braitenberg, F Pettenati, M Zadro - Journal of Geodynamics, 1997 - Elsevier
The mapping of the crust-mantle boundary surface is an important geophysical task, which
the method of seismic profiling has dealt with profitably. There are, however, areas where …

Effect of upper mantle density structure on Moho geometry
A constant value of the Moho density contrast is often assumed in the gravimetric methods
used for determination of Moho geometry. This assumption might be sufficient in regional …

Two‐dimensional seismic reflection modeling of the inferred fossil oceanic crust/mantle transition in the Bay of Islands ophiolite
JA Collins, TM Brocher… - Journal of Geophysical …, 1986 - Wiley Online Library
We investigate the origin and character of oceanic Moho reflections by computing two‐

Correlation between the shear-speed structure and thickness of the mantle transition zone
The 410 and 660km seismic discontinuities that bound the mantle transition zone (TZ) are
attributed to phase transformations in olivine structure. This implies that variations in TZ …
