Abstract

The Iberian LIthosphere Heterogeneity and Anisotropy experiment (ILIHA), with a star-shaped arrangement of six long-range DSS profiles, was carried out in October 1989. The models derived from a first interpretation of the recorded data are presented. Interpretation of the mantle derived data suggests a layered lower lithosphere. Layering penetrates to at least 90 km depth. The homogeneity of these layers contrasts strongly with the heterogeneous Hercynian surface geology. Velocities derived from reflected data from the deep layers suggest the constituent materials are either anisotropic or that the layers suffer a slight regional dip. -from Authors
