- Descr: The experiment is aimed at imaginig the upper mantle structure
beneath the 1.1 billion years old Mid-Continental rift by using seismc
tomography, shear wave splitting, seismic wave attenuation, and converted
waves. The data will also be used to detect small earthquakes associated
with active faults in the study area, where large earthquakes with MMI
7 or 8 have occurred during the past 135 years.
