TY - JOUR A1 - Haberland, Christian A1 - Rietbrock, Andreas A1 - Schurr, B. A1 - Brasse, Heinrich T1 - Coincident anomalies of seismic attenuation and electrical resistivity beneath the southern Bolivian Altiplano plateau N2 - Reassessment of local earthquake data from the ANCORP seismological network allowed the calculation of 3D attenuation (Q(p)) tomographic images of crust and upper mantle beneath the southern Bolivian Altiplano around 21degrees S. The images reveal a low-Q(p) middle and lower crust and a moderate-Q(p) upper mantle beneath the southern Altiplano. Beneath the recent magmatic arc, Q(p) is not significantly decreased at this latitude. The distribution of crustal Q(p) coincides with the variation of electrical resistivity, thus limiting the possible mechanisms causing the anomalies. Our findings support the hypothesis that partial melts in middle and lower crust beneath the Altiplano are present on a large scale. We see no evidence for a shallow asthenosphere beneath the southern Altiplano Y1 - 2003 SN - 0094-8276 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Oncken, Onno A1 - Luschen, Ewald A1 - Mechie, James A1 - Sobolev, Stephan Vladimir A1 - Schulze, Albrecht A1 - Gaedicke, Christoph A1 - Grunewald, Steffen A1 - Bribach, Jens A1 - Asch, Günter A1 - Giese, Peter A1 - Wigger, Peter A1 - Schmitz, Michael A1 - Lueth, Stefan A1 - Scheuber, Ekkehard A1 - Haberland, Christian A1 - Rietbrock, Andreas A1 - Götze, Hans-Jürgen A1 - Brasse, Heinrich A1 - Patzwahl, Regina A1 - Chong, Guillermo A1 - Wilke, Hans-Gerhard A1 - Gonzalez, Gabriel A1 - Jensen, Arturo A1 - Araneda, Manuel A1 - Vieytes, Hugo A1 - Behn, Gerardo A1 - Martinez, Eloy T1 - Seismic reflection image revealing offset of Andean subduction-zone earthquake locations into oceanic mantle Y1 - 1999 ER -
