Vp/Vs structure and Pn anisotropy across the Louisville Ridge, seaward of the Tonga-Kermadec Trench (2024)
Journal Article
Contreras-Reyes, E., Grevemeyer, I., Peirce, C., & Obando-Orrego, S. (2024). Vp/Vs structure and Pn anisotropy across the Louisville Ridge, seaward of the Tonga-Kermadec Trench. Tectonophysics, 885, Article 230417. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tecto.2024.230417

The Pacific Plate within the collision zone between the Louisville Ridge and the Tonga-Kermadec Trench was formed at the Osbourn Trough, a paleo spreading center that became inactive during the Cretaceous. In this region, the trench shallows from a d... Read More about Vp/Vs structure and Pn anisotropy across the Louisville Ridge, seaward of the Tonga-Kermadec Trench.

Application of a seismic network to baleen whale call detection and localization in the Panama basin-a Bryde's whale example. (2024)
Journal Article
Tary, J. B., Peirce, C., Hobbs, R., Bonilla Walker, F., De La Hoz, C., Bird, A., & Vargas, C. A. (2024). Application of a seismic network to baleen whale call detection and localization in the Panama basin-a Bryde's whale example. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 155(3), 2075-2086. https://doi.org/10.1121/10.0025290

Baleen whales use sounds of various characteristics for different tasks and interactions. This study focuses on recordings from the Costa Rica Rift, in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean, made by 25 ocean-bottom seismographs and a vertical array of 1...

Oceanic crust – seismic structure, lithology and the cause of the 2A Event at borehole 504B (2024)
Journal Article
Peirce, C., & Hobbs, R. (2024). Oceanic crust – seismic structure, lithology and the cause of the 2A Event at borehole 504B. Geophysical Journal International, 237(1), 159-189. https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggae029

This study focuses on the 3-D velocity structure and thickness of ~7 Myr-old oceanic crust surrounding borehole 504B, located ~235 km from the intermediate-spreading Costa Rica Rift (Panama Basin). It investigates how well seismic structure determine... Read More about Oceanic crust – seismic structure, lithology and the cause of the 2A Event at borehole 504B.
