Collaborative Research: Lithospheric Structure of the Tibetan Plateau

这项研究是为了分析一个成功的 对世界上规模最大但最不为人所知的 地球的特征，青藏高原。 这个大，高， 活跃的地震区是印度板块碰撞的结果。 欧亚大陆。 11个宽带PASSCAL电台， 在1991年夏天部署了12个月，沿着一条南北走向的 从拉萨到格尔木穿越青藏高原的公路。 尽管 令人生畏的后勤和身体困难， 与中国科学家的合作，正在成功地 在最初的几个月里， 一个历史数据集。 几种新的分析技术 包括接收器功能分析、表面波分析和 将对数据进行折射分析， 通过IRIS数据中心向所有科学家提供。 这 研究是国家地震灾害的组成部分 减少方案。

This research is to analyze a wealth of data from a successful seismic expedition to one of the largest, but least understood features of the earth, the Tibetan Plateau. This large, high and actively seismic area is a result of the collision of the Indian continent with Eurasia. Eleven broad-band PASSCAL stations were deployed in the Summer of 1991 for 12 months along a north-south road across the Tibetan Plateau from Llasa to Golmud. In spite of daunting logistical and physical difficulties, the PIs', in cooperation with Chinese scientists, are successfully operating the array and have in the first few months, begun the production of an historical data set. Several new analysis techniques including receiver function analysis, surface-wave analysis, and refraction analysis will be applied to the data which will be available to all scientists through the IRIS Data Center. This research is a component of the National Earthquake Hazard Reduction Program.
