[SIT30-01] Multi-scale Structure and Lithospheric Discontinuities
★招待講演
キーワード：Lithospheric Heterogeneity, Lithsopheric Discontinuities
The continental lithosphere is heterogeneous on a wide variety of scales and apparent seismic discontinuities arise from the interaction of the seismic wavefield with multiple-scale features. In consequence the character of such discontinuities is frequency-dependent. Nevertheless it is possible to track discontinuities within the lithosphere across closely spaced stations exploiting P-wave reflectivity extracted from stacked autocorrelograms at each receiver.
Although most inference of finer-scale structure is indirect, corroborative evidence comes from the geochemistry of xenoliths across southeastern Australia. There is a close correspondence between changes in chemistry and P-wave reflectivity in the neighbourhood of the xenoliths.
