TW-Pj-H14

A new Vp model that better images the 3-D geometry of subducting Eurasian plate at deep depths is derived from a joint inversion that incorporates local and teleseimic earthquake data together. The local earthquake data that include two large datasets from the works of Huang et al. (2014) and Kuo-Chen et al. (2012) are in total of 1716 stations, 9962 events, and 111,957 P wave readings. Teleseismic earthquake data collect 1550 events recorded by 49 broadband stations and 19,083 measured relative times.
