Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a compilation of the newer techniques of refraction seismic surveying. It contains a series of articles written principally by members of SEG who are specialist in refraction techniques. The volume contains only new materials with a bibliography of references to other refraction materials available. The majority of the papers are of a "technique type" which describe some particular interpretation technique that may be used for better interpretation of special refraction data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Receiver functions derived from teleseismic earthquakes contain seismic amplitude and velocity information that relate to compositional changes within the Earth's crust and upper mantle. The receiver function waveform is a combination of P-S converted waves that have reverberated within the lithosphere. Although the largest seismic velocity boundary is found at the base of the crust, I explore the use of lower amplitude receiver function arrivals that represent smaller velocity contrasts within the crust. In my thesis, I calculate and model receiver functions via a Metropolis algorithm approach to extract seismic velocity distributions in the lithosphere. I use the results to explore changing lithologies and heat signatures beneath the geologically complex southern Idaho region. In addition to a robust crustal thickness estimate for my study area, I show anomalously thick crust beneath the 14 Ma track of the Yellowstone hotspot compared to the surrounding regions, a thinner crust beneath the Oregon-Idaho graben and the Basin and Range province, and a distinct boundary between the Basin and Range and middle Rocky Mountains provinces. I highlight a high velocity zone between 6-14 km depth that is consistent with the presence of mid-crustal sills beneath the hot spot track, partial melt within the Yellowstone caldera, and relatively low velocities at seismogenic depths within the tectonic parabola of eastern Idaho. Anomalously slow velocities in the lower to mid-crust beneath the southern margin of the western Snake River Plain are coincident with high heat flow values and high total magnetic values, offering the possibility of mid-lower crustal partially melted dikes or sill complexes. I utilize legacy active source refraction data to compare with receiver function results to further constrain seismic velocities. Overall, I find that receiver function analyses using a Metropolis algorithm inversion approach to estimate seismic velocity distributions show results below 6 km that are consistent with other studies. This approach offers the possibility of complimenting large-scale refraction experiments with low-cost receiver function analysis by utilizing earthquake waveforms from both permanent and temporary seismic deployments to constrain mid to lower-crustal properties. I discuss the use of this method as a tool for geothermal exploration by constraining crustal lithologies and identifying the presence of partial melt."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teleseismic receiver functions are used to estimate the crustal structure beneath a 36-station, 500-km-long, NW oriented linear array centered on the eastern Snake River Plain and crossing the Yellowstone hotspot swell 250 km SW of Yellowstone. Structure derived previously for this region from wide-angle reflection data is used as an initial model, and this structure explains most features observed in our receiver functions. Based on a combination of forward and inverse modeling, our data require several modifications to the initial structure: (1) Moho depth is ~42 km beneath most of the Snake River Plain, shallows to ~37 km to either side, and thickens abruptly to ~47 km beneath SW Wyoming; (2) a midcrustal layer interpreted previously as a ~9-km-thick gabbroic sill is flat topped across the entire ~90 km width of the Snake River Plain; and (3) a low-velocity layer is found beneath and southeast of the Snake River Plain, which probably is partially molten lower-most crust. Using the seismic structure of the crust to estimate the crustal load upon the mantle, and assuming local isostasy, we calculate that mantle beneath the Yellowstone swell is approximately uniformly as buoyant as 12-million-year-old ocean mantle, and more buoyant than the adjacent Wyoming mantle by an amount equivalent of ~1.5 km of elevation. The transition between these regions of greatly different mantle occurs across a major Paleozoic boundary that now separates the Basin and Range from the Rocky Mountains.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together, from a wide range of experience, such information as may be useful in recognizing, avoiding, controlling, designing for, and correcting movement. Current geologic concepts and engineering principles and techniques are introduced, and both the analysis and control of soil and rock-slopes are addressed. New methods of stability analysis and the use of computer techniques in implementing these methods are included. Rock slope engineering and the selecting of shear-strength parameters for slope-stability analyses are covered in separate chapters.
