UPPER MANTLE STRUCTURE IN CANADA FROM SEISMIC OBSERVATIONS USING CHEMICAL EXPLOSIONS
Long-range seismic observations at the standard Canadian seismic stations, from chemical explosions in Hudson Bay and Lake Superior, are used to derive a P-wave velocity structure for the upper mantle. The coordinates of observed cusps are used to define the structural discontinuities. These discont...
