- <meta content="The deep crustal and upper mantle structure of the Yilgarn Craton is investigated in this study using receiver-function analysis of teleseismic earthquake records from temporary stations. Two lines of stations were deployed, the main transect ran between Perth and Kalgoorlie, and a second line of stations ran across the east Yilgarn Craton 200 km to the north of Kalgoorlie. The broadband
- instrumentation records high-fidelity waveform data allowing the signal from the near-receiver
- structure to be separated from the influence of the earthquake source. The nature of the crust and
- upper mantle structure under each station is determined from seismic-velocity models that match the
- observed receiver-function waveforms and the resulting coarse-scale transect provides new,
- independent controls on the structure of the lithosphere. Mechanisms for the evolution of the Yilgarn
- Craton, previously put forward to explain surface geological and geochemical observations, and
- seismic velocity structure from reflection and refraction studies, may be classified as favouring: (i) predominantly
- accretionary lithospheric evolution; (ii) mixed accretion and other influences; or (iii) no
- accretionary-style influence. Characteristics of the deep seismic structure enable the evolutionary
- mechanism to be inferred. From the teleseismic data, we find that the seismic Moho is sharp in
- character under stations in the middle of the proposed terranes and more gradational near the
- proposed terrane boundaries. The Moho dips gently eastward and the seismic velocity of the upper
- mantle increases moving from west to east across the whole craton. An anomalous region exists under
- the Southwest terrane that shows a thick high-velocity gradient zone at the base of the crust and a
- Moho dipping to the west. The nature of the lateral heterogeneity in structure and its correspondence
- with proposed terrane boundaries suggest that accretionary processes are significant in the evolution
- of the Yilgarn Craton." name="eprints.abstract" />

Two lines of stations were deployed, the main transect ran between Perth and Kalgoorlie, and a second line of stations ran across the east Yilgarn Craton 200 km to the north of Kalgoorlie. The broadband
- instrumentation records high-fidelity waveform data allowing the signal from the near-receiver
- structure to be separated from the influence of the earthquake source. The nature of the crust and
- upper mantle structure under each station is determined from seismic-velocity models that match the
- observed receiver-function waveforms and the resulting coarse-scale transect provides new,
- independent controls on the structure of the lithosphere. Mechanisms for the evolution of the Yilgarn
- Craton, previously put forward to explain surface geological and geochemical observations, and
- seismic velocity structure from reflection and refraction studies, may be classified as favouring: (i) predominantly
- accretionary lithospheric evolution; (ii) mixed accretion and other influences; or (iii) no
- accretionary-style influence. Characteristics of the deep seismic structure enable the evolutionary
- mechanism to be inferred. From the teleseismic data, we find that the seismic Moho is sharp in
- character under stations in the middle of the proposed terranes and more gradational near the
- proposed terrane boundaries. The Moho dips gently eastward and the seismic velocity of the upper
- mantle increases moving from west to east across the whole craton. An anomalous region exists under
- the Southwest terrane that shows a thick high-velocity gradient zone at the base of the crust and a
- Moho dipping to the west. The nature of the lateral heterogeneity in structure and its correspondence
- with proposed terrane boundaries suggest that accretionary processes are significant in the evolution
- of the Yilgarn Craton.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" border="0" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">receiver function, seismic structure, tectonics, Yilgarn Craton.</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/260100.html">260000 Earth Sciences > 260100 Geology</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Collections:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">UNSPECIFIED</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">1586</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Mrs Katrina Keep</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">13 Aug 2007</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">30 Jan 2008 15:34</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=1586;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&eprintid=1586">item control page</a></p>
