  • Direct Inversion of S‐P Differential Arrival Times for Vp/Vs Ratio in SE Asia

    Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth

    Southeast Asia lies within one of the most complex tectonic settings on Earth and exhibits a range of features, including strongly curved subduction zones, arc‐continent collision, and slab break‐off, which are not well understood. To help gain insight into mantle structure and processes beneath this region, we perform an inversion for variations in Vp, Vs, and Vp/Vs structure using arrival time information from the ISC‐EHB catalog. The oceanic lithosphere subducting beneath Java is imaged as a…

    Southeast Asia lies within one of the most complex tectonic settings on Earth and exhibits a range of features, including strongly curved subduction zones, arc‐continent collision, and slab break‐off, which are not well understood. To help gain insight into mantle structure and processes beneath this region, we perform an inversion for variations in Vp, Vs, and Vp/Vs structure using arrival time information from the ISC‐EHB catalog. The oceanic lithosphere subducting beneath Java is imaged as a positive dVp and negative d(Vp/Vs) anomaly. At 200 km depth, the forearc mantle beneath Sumatra and Java is revealed by positive dVp and d(Vp/Vs) anomalies which cease at Sumba island, where negative d(Vp/Vs) anomalies mark the presence of cold Australian lithosphere (down to 200–250 km depth) which is colliding with Sundaland. These negative d(Vp/Vs) anomalies depict a ∼WE trending structure that appears to correspond with the underthrusting of Australian continental crust. One notable salient has a location and shape which appears to coincide with those of ancient terranes or a Gondwana‐related microcontinent reconstructed by paleogeographic studies and may have been entrained in the subduction process. The velocity and d(Vp/Vs) patterns beneath the Banda Arc support the existence of a single curved subducting slab associated with rollback. The extreme extensional strike‐slip setting in Seram produces the highest positive d(Vp/Vs) anomalies in the model which may be due to one or more of widespread serpentinization, high concentrations of intraslab fluid‐filled faulting, and mantle upwelling.

  • New insights into seismic absorption imaging

    Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors

    In recent years, attenuation has been used as a marker for source and dynamic Earth processes due to its higher sensitivity to small variations of lithospheric properties compared to seismic velocity. From seismic hazard analysis to oil and gas exploration and rock physics, many fields need a better reconstruction of energy absorption, a constituent of seismic attenuation generally considered a reliable marker of fluid saturation in space. Here, we propose absorption tomography (AT), a…

    In recent years, attenuation has been used as a marker for source and dynamic Earth processes due to its higher sensitivity to small variations of lithospheric properties compared to seismic velocity. From seismic hazard analysis to oil and gas exploration and rock physics, many fields need a better reconstruction of energy absorption, a constituent of seismic attenuation generally considered a reliable marker of fluid saturation in space. Here, we propose absorption tomography (AT), a technique grounded on the principles of scattering tomography and Multiple Lapse Time Window Analysis.

  • P and S wave travel time tomography of the SE Asia-Australia collision zone

    Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors

    The southeast (SE) Asia - Australia collision zone is one of the most tectonically active and seismogenic regions in the world. Here, we present new 3-D P- and S-wave velocity models of the crust and upper mantle by applying earthquake travel-time tomography to global catalogue data. We first re-locate earthquakes provided by the standard ISC-Reviewed and ISC-EHB catalogues using a non-linear oct-tree scheme. A machine learning algorithm that clusters earthquakes depending on their…

    The southeast (SE) Asia - Australia collision zone is one of the most tectonically active and seismogenic regions in the world. Here, we present new 3-D P- and S-wave velocity models of the crust and upper mantle by applying earthquake travel-time tomography to global catalogue data. We first re-locate earthquakes provided by the standard ISC-Reviewed and ISC-EHB catalogues using a non-linear oct-tree scheme. A machine learning algorithm that clusters earthquakes depending on their spatiotemporal density was then applied to significantly improve the consistency of travel-time picks. We used the Fast Marching Tomography software package to retrieve 3-D velocity and interface structures from starting 1-D velocity and Moho models. Synthetic resolution and sensitivity tests demonstrate that the final models are robust, with P-wave speed variations (~130 km horizontal resolution) generally recovered more robustly than S-wave speed variations (~220 km horizontal resolution). The retrieved crust and mantle anomalies offer a new perspective on the broad-scale tectonic setting and underlying mantle architecture of SE Asia. While we observe clear evidence of subducted slabs as high velocity anomalies penetrating into the mantle along the Sunda arc, Banda arc and Halmahera arc, we also see evidence for slab gaps or holes in the vicinity of east Java. Furthermore, a high-velocity region in the mantle lithosphere connects northern Australia with Timor and West Papua. The S-wave model shows broad-scale features similar to those of the P-wave model, with mantle earthquakes generally distributed within high-velocity slabs. The high velocity mantle connection between northern Australia and the eastern margin of the Sunda arc is also present in the S-wave model. While the S-wave model has a lower resolution than the P-wave model due to the availability of fewer paths, it nonetheless provides new and complementary insights into the structure of the upper mantle beneath southeast Asia.
