Multidisciplinary Modeling of Mantle Lithosphere Structure Within the Superior Craton, North America

Abstract New 3D multi‐azimuthal receiver function analysis identified four regional seismic discontinuities dipping at 7–13° within the mantle of the Superior craton of North America; most are discordant to known major upper crustal structures. Widely observed crustal‐scale structures with near‐vert...
