dc.description.abstract | The lithospheric structure of the South American continent has been mainly investigated
through continental-scale seismic studies and a number of seismic experiments in the
Andean region. As a result, there is still a paucity of detailed seismic studies within the
South American platform. With the aim of improving seismic coverage in the continent,
the Universidade de São Paulo (USP) is presently leading an international, multiinstitutional effort funded by FAPESP that focuses on investigating the deep structure
under the Paraná, Pantanal, and Chaco basins through analysis of seismic data (“3-Basin
Project”). To that end, existing stations belonging to the Rede Sismográfica Brasileira
have been complemented with a temporary deployment of more than 30 broadband
stations throughout W-SW Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, and Paraguay. Here, we present
results obtained from analysis of data collected at 33 stations in and around the Pantanal
basin. Our study consists of: (i) an analysis of Moho P-to-S conversion phases in receiver
functions to determine crustal thickness and bulk Vp/Vs ratio; and (ii) the joint inversion
of the RFs and surface wave dispersion curves to develop S-wave velocity-depth profiles
for the crust and uppermost mantle under each station. Estimates of crustal thickness and
bulk Vp/Vs ratio have been obtained through the H-κ stacking technique, which performs
a weighted stack of the receiver functions amplitudes along phase-moveout curves
through a grid-search in the H-κ parameter space. Development of velocity-depth profiles
is based on a linearization of the forward problem followed by minimization of a weighted
average of the RMS error for the receiver function and surface-wave dispersion datasets.
Analysis of P-to-S conversions has revealed that Moho depths and Vp/Vs ratios vary
between 33 and 50 km and between 1.56 and 1.83, respectively. Within the Pantanal
basin, however, the crust is thinnest (34-38 km) and displays the smallest Vp/Vs ratios
(1.56-1.69). The velocity models reveal the existence of up to four different crustal types
that correlate with surface geology: (i) crust of 35 km with VS<4.0 km/s, under the basin
and along the SW projection of the Transbrasiliano Lineament (TBL); (ii) crust of 45 km
with VS>4.0 km/s below 40 km depth, flanking the basin to the East and West; (iii) crust
of 50-55 km with VS>4.0 km/s below 40 km depth, flanking the basin to the North and
South and along the TBL; and (iv) crust of 42.5-45.0 km with Vs<4.0 km/s in the
neighboring Paraná Basin. Existing geodynamic models propose that the Pantanal Basin
formed either in the backbulge of the flexural system or at the top of the forebulge, due
to extensional bending stresses that reactivated pre-existing faults in the shallow upper
crust. We argue that the Pantanal Basin formed in a structurally weaker portion of the
foreland crust that was affected by delamination and enhanced bending of the South
American plate. Our findings do not allow for discrimination among the competing
models, but suggest the TBL was critical in marking the location, origin and evolution of
this basin. | |
