Download or read book Exploring the Earth s Crust written by C. Prodehl and published by Geological Society of America. This book was released on 2012 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This volume contains a comprehensive, worldwide history of seismological studies of the Earth's crust using controlled sources from 1850 to 2005. Essentially all major seismic projects on land and the most important oceanic projects are covered. The time period 1850 to 1939 is presented as a general synthesis, and from 1940 onward the history and results are presented in separate chapters for each decade, with the material organized by geographical region. Each chapter highlights the major advances achieved during that decade in terms of data acquisition, processing technology, and interpretation methods. For all major seismic projects, the authors provide specific details on field observations, interpreted crustal cross sections, and key references. They conclude with global and continental-scale maps of all field measurements and interpreted Moho contours. An accompanying DVD contains important out-of-print publications and an extensive collection of controlled-source data, location maps, and crustal cross sections."--Publisher's description.

Book excerpt: Treatise on Geophysics, Second Edition, is a comprehensive and in-depth study of the physics of the Earth beyond what any geophysics text has provided previously. Thoroughly revised and updated, it provides fundamental and state-of-the-art discussion of all aspects of geophysics. A highlight of the second edition is a new volume on Near Surface Geophysics that discusses the role of geophysics in the exploitation and conservation of natural resources and the assessment of degradation of natural systems by pollution. Additional features include new material in the Planets and Moon, Mantle Dynamics, Core Dynamics, Crustal and Lithosphere Dynamics, Evolution of the Earth, and Geodesy volumes. New material is also presented on the uses of Earth gravity measurements. This title is essential for professionals, researchers, professors, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of Geophysics and Earth system science. Comprehensive and detailed coverage of all aspects of geophysics Fundamental and state-of-the-art discussions of all research topics Integration of topics into a coherent whole
Download or read book A Receiver Function Study of the Central America and Cascadia Subduction Zone Systems written by Laura S. MacKenzie and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Subduction zone processes alter continents through terrane accretion and creation of new crust. Release of fluids from the subducting slab is associated with seismicity and tremor, serpentinization of the mantle wedge, and development of arc volcanism. Many of these subduction-related changes affect seismic velocities; therefore seismic characterization of subduction zones provides insight into arc structure and composition in otherwise inaccessible regions. Receiver functions from teleseismic waveforms collected on dense networks in Central America and Washington State (Cascadia) are used to investigate subduction zone structure. The resulting high-resolution images provide the first direct comparison of mantle structure between magmatic subduction zones, made possible by the recent development of portable broadband seismographs. Results indicate complicated forearc structure, contrasted with simple backarc structure. Thick crust is observed beneath the Costa Rican arc, consistent with magmatic addition. Beneath the Nicaraguan arc crust is thin compared with surroundings. Subsurface lithologic terrane boundaries are observed from changes in crustal thickness and seismic velocities between these two segments. Formal migration of waveforms confirms thin crust beneath the Nicaraguan arc. Limits of the migration procedure are tested on a steeply dipping slab (>60°) with successful recovery in Nicaragua to ~200 km, but the lack of backarc sampling and large station gaps in Costa Rica preclude full slab recovery. Formal migration of receiver functions in Cascadia images the subducting oceanic crust as a ~5 km thick low velocity layer to ~40 km depth, below which amplitude reduction is attributed to metamorphic dehydration reactions. Seismicity is located in the subducted crust to this depth, after which it transitions into subducting oceanic mantle. Non-volcanic tremor also occurs where fluid loss is inferred from imaging the crust, suggesting a link. Overall, complicated seismic structure dominates the arc and forearc, a result of terrane accretion and interaction with slab-derived fluids, while simple layered crust lies in the backarc. Complicated forearc crust ultimately evolves into simple layered crust over geologic time, contributing to continental growth.

This book was released on 2012-08-15 with total page 805 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid-aided mass transfer and subsequent mineral re-equilibration are the two defining features of metasomatism and must be present in order for metamorphism to occur. Coupled with igneous and tectonic processes, metasomatism has played a major role in the formation of the Earth’s continental and oceanic crust and lithospheric mantle as well as in their evolution and subsequent stabilization. Metasomatic processes can include ore mineralization, metasomatically induced alteration of oceanic lithosphere, mass transport in and alteration of subducted oceanic crust and overlying mantle wedge, which has subsequent implications regarding mass transport, fluid flow, and volatile storage in the lithospheric mantle overall, as well as both regional and localized crustal metamorphism. Metasomatic alteration of accessory minerals such as zircon or monazite can allow for the dating of metasomatic events as well as give additional information regarding the chemistry of the fluids responsible. Lastly present day movement of fluids in both the lithospheric mantle and deep to mid crust can be observed utilizing geophysical resources such as electrical resistivity and seismic data. Such observations help to further clarify the picture of actual metasomatic processes as inferred from basic petrographic, mineralogical, and geochemical data. The goal of this volume is to bring together a diverse group of geologists, each of whose specialities and long range experience regarding one or more aspects of metasomatism during geologic processes, should allow them to contribute to a series of review chapters, which outline the basis of our current understanding of how metasomatism influences and helps to control both the evolution and stability of the crust and lithospheric mantle.
