Abstract:	摘要： Here we report estimates of crustal thickness and Poisson's ratios for northern Vietnam, based on teleseismic receiver function analysis of observations from a dense broadband seismic array. The seismic array comprised of 24 stations distributed evenly over northern Vietnam, from whose records we examined 190 teleseismic events of Mw>5.5 for the period 2006–2008. Using the radial receiver functions calculated from teleseismic records at individual stations, the optimum crustal thickness and Vp/Vs (where Vp and Vs are the velocities of P- and S-waves, respectively) ratio beneath each station were determined using the H–κ (where H is crustal thickness and κ is defined as the Vp/Vs ratio) stacking algorithm. Determined values of crustal thickness range from 26.5km to 36.4km, with an average of 31.0±2.1km. The simple pattern of variation of crustal thickness in the northeastern region of the study area, with a mean of ~31km, suggests that the sector belongs to the craton of the South China block. A highly variable crustal thickness is found over the northwestern region of northern Vietnam, ranging from ~29.5km to ~36.4km, implying that complex tectonic processes have taken place in this region. The thinnest crust is found in the Red River Delta, where it ranges from 26.5km to 30.4km, which is suggestive of a recent rifting process. The determinations of crustal thickness show a good linear correlation with Bouguer gravity anomalies. Lower values of Poisson's ratio in the northeastern and Red River Delta sectors suggest a more felsic crust, and larger values in the northwestern sector suggest lithospheric extension in the Song Da depression. The findings enhance our understanding of the geotectonic architecture of the northern Vietnam region. •Crustal structure for northern Vietnam based on receiver function analysis•Crustal thickness shows a good linear correlation with Bouguer gravity anomalies.•Enhance understanding of the geotectonic architecture of the northern Vietnam region 出版者： Elsevier B.V 出版日期： 2013-08-02 出處： Tectonophysics, 2013-08, Vol.601, p.87-97 資源來源： Elsevier ScienceDirect Journals Complete 版權： 2013 Elsevier B.V. 識別號： ISSN: 0040-1951 識別號： EISSN: 1879-3266 識別號： DOI: 10.1016/j.tecto.2013.04.031
