Layered Structure of the Crust
Sedimentary Layers
Crystalline Crust
typical thickness < 1km
primarily constrained by geological data
typical thickness ~ 40 km
primarily constrained by seismological data
What is CRUST5.1/2.0/1.0?models for crustal corrections (in obtaining mantle models)
global models obtained by using many extrapolations
Sedimentary Layer Structures
compilation of published models
obtained by compiling extrapolated models
Assumption for Crystalline Crust Models for CRUST1.0
Conventional Seismological Dataset
Coverage of conventional seismologicaldata is not global.
Crystalline crustal structures are assumedto be identical in the same category ofgeological setting.
41 ± 7 km 39 ± 7 km
43 ± 11 km 31 ± 6 km
31 ± 8 km 27 ± 8 km
Plausibility of the AssumptionVariance of the Crustal Thickness within the Same Geological Setting Categories

Conventional Seismological Dataset
Conventional seismological datacovers all over Japan.

Problems with the Community Model
hard to estimate uncertainties of the model
suffering from phase association problems
We cannot tell which of these 5 P waves is the initial phase.
hard to develop models with complex boundary shape / large number of interfaces

New Data 1 & 2 Conventional Data
Scheme for Obtaining Better Models
Previous Efforts Using New Datasets
Stations Coverage
New Data 1 (short period surface waves) were usedto obtain crustal models.
Problems with the Previous Efforts
Combining “New Data 2” will improve these problems.
Using Crust 1.0 is a good starting point.
Using Japanese community model is the easiestway to write some papers but is not very exciting.
Improving existing crustal models should beinteresting both for seismologists and physicists.
