seismic, thermal, and gravity modeling of the iranian lithosphere

We investigate the moho variations and upper-mantle structure across the iranian plateau along the ilam – tehran transect using the joint inversion of p-receiver function (prf) and a composed of group and phase surface-wave dispersion data (figures 1 and 2). the robustness of the s-wave velocity model is evaluated by estimating the bouguer anomalies obtained from conversion of the seismic velocity into density and comparing the results with the observed bouguer anomalies. the results show a moderate variation of the moho depth along the entire cross-section with amaximum of 58 km located beneath the sanandaj-sirjan zone (ssz) and urumieh-dokhtar magmatic arc (udma).
