Moho structure of Central America based on three-dimensional lithospheric density modelling of satellite-derived gravity data
(2012-05-23)
The Central American isthmus hosts a highly variable Moho structure due to the diverse origin and composition of the crustal basement and the influence of large-scale neotectonic processes. Gravity data from the combined ...

Effect of the lithospheric thermal state on the Moho interface: A case study in South America
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-07)
Gravimetric methods applied for Moho recovery in areas with sparse and irregular distribution of seismic data often assume only a constant crustal density. Results of latest studies, however, indicate that corrections for ...
Mohorovicic discontinuity depth analysis beneath north patagonian massif
(Springer, 2016-01)
The Mohorovicic discontinuity (Moho) is the surface that limits the Earth’s crust and mantle. It is of paramount importance in understanding and investigating the dynamics of the Earth’s interior. The GEMMA project (GOCE ...
Basement structures over Rio Grande Rise from gravity inversion
(2017-04-01)
The basement depth in the Rio Grande Rise (RGR), South Atlantic, is estimated from combining gravity data obtained from satellite altimetry, marine surveys, bathymetry, sediment thickness and crustal thickness information. ...
Isostatic Crustal Thickness Under The Tibetan Plateau And Himalayas From Satellite Gravity Gradiometry Data
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Facultad de Ciencias - Departamento de Geociencia, 2015-07-01)
The global gravity and crustal models are used in this study to determine the regional Moho model. For this purpose, we solve the Vening Meinesz-Moritz’s (VMM) inverse problem of isostasy de ned in terms of the isostatic ...
Moho depth and equivalent elastic thickness of the lithosphere over the Vema Channel: A new evidence of an aborted ridge
(2018-03-01)
We investigate the Vema Channel in terms of spatial variations of the elastic thickness (Te) in the frame of the thin plate flexure model using the convolutive method. The modeling of the Moho in terms of the thin plate ...
Effective elastic thickness in the Central Andes. Correlation to orogenic deformation styles and lower crust high-gravity anomaly
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-12)
Global studies have assessed the importance of elastic thickness (Te) on orogenic evolution, showing that the style and nature of upper crustal shortening are influenced by the inherited lithospheric strength. Thus, pioneer ...

Study of salt structures from gravity and seismic data in Santos Basin, Brazil
(Inst Geophysics Unam, 2016-07-01)
Seismic is one of the main methods used for the identification of structures and stratigraphic studies in sedimentary basins. In the Santos Basin, numerous 2D and 3D seismic surveys are being conducted in order to get a ...
