Probing layered arc crust in the Lesser Antilles using receiver functions

Probing layered arc crust in the Lesser Antilles using receiver functions

Oceanic arcs can provide insight into the processes of crustal growth and crustal structure. In this work, changes in crustal thickness and composition along the Lesser Antilles Arc (LAA) are analysed at 10 islands using receiver function (RF) inversions that combine seismological data with vP/vS ra...
