P and S wave data from the L-SCAN active-source wide-angle reflection/refraction experiment are modelled to investigate upper crustal structure in the Lau backarc basin. A combination of ray tracing and finite difference numerical wavefield simulation is used to identify P and P-to-S converted seismic phases. The phases primarily arise from two shallow interfaces, one at ~ 80 m depth or less, and the other at 500–650 m depth. The shallower interface is deeper than the sediment base, is observed across the study area, and is interpreted as a ‘layer 2Aa’ boundary, proposed to result from a rapid change in crack density. The deeper interface is interpreted as the layer 2A–2B boundary, corresponding to a transition from lavas to sheeted dykes. Layer 2A, on average, is 150 m thicker in crust that formed at the spreading center when spreading was located near the arc (< 50 km away), as compared to when spreading was located farther away from the arc (> 70 km away). Layer 2A thickness andVp/Vsvalues indicate that a thicker and more porous lava layer, dominated by basalts to basalt-andesites, cap near-arc crust, while a thinner and less-porous, mostly basaltic, volcanic layer caps the far-arc crust. These results are consistent with the waning influence of slab-derived volatiles on crustal formation as seafloor spreading moves away from the active arc.
