      Gao, YajianORCIDiD; Yuan, XiaohuiORCIDiD; Heit, BenjaminORCIDiD; Tilmann, FrederikORCIDiD; van Herwaarden, Dirk‐Philip; Thrastarson, SolviORCIDiD; Fichtner, AndreasORCIDiD; Schurr, BerndORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2021-11-08)
      A new seismic model for crust and upper mantle of the south Central Andes is derived from full waveform inversion, covering the Pampean flat subduction and adjacent Payenia steep subduction segments. Focused crustal ...
    • Lithospheric Delamination Beneath the Southern Puna Plateau Resolved by Local Earthquake Tomography 

      Chen, JingORCIDiD; Kufner, Sofia-KaterinaORCIDiD; Yuan, XiaohuiORCIDiD; Heit, BenjaminORCIDiD; Wu, Hao; Yang, Dinghui; Schurr, BerndORCIDiD; Kay, SuzanneORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020)
      We present a local earthquake tomography to illuminate the crustal and uppermost mantle structure beneath the southern Puna plateau and to test the delamination hypothesis. Vp and Vp/Vs ratios were obtained using travel ...
