Seismic Studies of the Caspian Basin and Surrounding Regions

Abstract

In order to investigate the anomalous crust and upper mantle structure of the south Caspian Basin, we installed a network of six three- component seismograph stations within the former Soviet republics of Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan. Our objective is to determine the velocity structure and surface wave modeling techniques. This first year report documents the seismographs network installation and data processing methods, discusses the crustal velocity structure for one network station in Turkmenistan and describes surface wave observations for paths across the south Caspian Basin.
