imaging structure of the western makran subduction zone by receiver functions analysis

We applied the p and s receiver functions methods to new data from a temporary seismic network of iasbs deployed in the western makran region to image the geometry of the subducting and overriding plates the subduction zone. iasbs temporary seismic network, consisting of 29 braodband stations, has been deployed in the western makran in the pastthree years (figure 1). for each station, receiver functions were computed from teleseismic events with epicentral distance between 30˚ and 90˚, and magnitude larger than 5.5. additionally, we computed receiver functions for two permanent broadband stations chbr and zhdn belonging to the iranian national seismic network (insn).
