  2. 1. Seismic Studies of Paleozoic Orogens in SW Iberia and the Middle Urals

    Author : Artem Kashubin; Christopher Juhlin; Lars Nielsen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Reflection seismics; Traveltime tomography; Uralian orogeny; Variscan orogeny; Crustal structure; Geophysics; Geofysik;

    Abstract : Controlled source seismic methods were employed in this study to investigate the reflectivity and velocity structure of two Hercynian orogens – the Uralides and Variscides. Conventional common depth point (CDP) sections from five reflection seismic campaigns and a velocity model obtained from tomographic inversion of wide-angle observations were the main datasets studied from the Middle Urals.

  4. 2. Seismic-Reflection and Seismic-Refraction Imaging of the South Portuguese Zone Fold-and-Thrust Belt

    Author : Cedric Schmelzbach; Christopher Juhlin; Laust Pedersen; Hans Thybo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geophysics; Dip-moveout; Prestack time migration; Crooked-line geometry; Traveltime tomography; Inversion; Seismic velocity; IBERSEIS profile; Variscan orogeny; Iberian Pyrite Belt; Geofysik; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract : The South Portuguese Zone (SPZ), which host world-class massive sulphide deposits, forms the southern fold-and-thrust belt of the Iberian Variscan orogeny. This thesis focuses on seismic-reflection and seismic-refraction processing efforts on a subset of the IBERSEIS deep seismic-reflection data set aiming at resolving the SPZ upper crust in high resolution.
