| Description: | We deployed a 60 station array consisting of 10 broadband and 50 short period stations deployed in a 30 x 50 km area surrounding the massif order to characterize the crust beneath the massif and the subsurface geometry and kinematics of faults bounding the massif. Average station spacing is 5 km, and station elevations range from 1.5 to 4.3 km. The array recorded local and regional seismicity for a 4 month period (May-September, 1996). One of our major goals is to use the Hindu Kush events which originate at 200-300 km depth as a beam source to illuminate the structure beneath NP. We will use additional regional events from a range of azimuths combined with local events to produce a tomographic image of velocity and attenuation structure beneath the massif. |
