Abstract

Teleseismic P wave trave time residuals from 120 earthquakes recorded across the U.S. Geological Survey California seismic network were used to determine the lithosphere P wave velocity structure beneath northern California. Inversion results for the crust show strong correlations to volcanic features. Results from this study provide improved constraints on Gorda plate subduction, evolution of the San Andreas fault system, and development of the lithosphere beneath western North America. -from Authors
