| Abstract | The uppermost 50 km of the lithospheric structure of the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula is presented in this study, by means of a set of 2D images of shear-wave velocity for depths raging from 0 to 50 km. This goal will be attained by means of the inversion of the Rayleigh-wave dispersion. For this purpose, the 23 earthquakes occurred on the vicinity of the study area, from 2001 to 2003, will be considered. The dispersion curves of these earthquakes have been measured for periods from 2 to 45 s, by combination of two digital-filtering techniques: Multiple Filter Technique (MFT) and Time Variable Filtering (TVF). The resulting set of source-station averaged dispersion curves has been inverted according to the generalized inversion theory, to get S-wave velocity models for each source-station path. Finally, these models have been interpolated by kriging to obtain a 2D mapping of the S-wave velocity structure, for the northern part of Iberia. The results presented in this paper show that the crust of the study area consisted of three main layers of varying thickness with a clear S-velocity contrast, resulting in a Moho depth of 30 km that decreases to 25 km in the eastern border of the Iberian peninsula and to 20 km in the Valencia trough. The upper crust has a sedimentary cover of 2 km thick. This upper crust has a thickness of 8 km, showing a very small lateral variation. In the middle crust (from 10 to 20 km depth), the S-velocity increases from 3.4 km/s to 3.7 km/s for the whole study area except for the east and the Valencia trough, where the S-velocities reach values of 3.9 km/s. The lower crust (from 20 to 30 km depth), exhibits S-velocities of 3.8–3.9 km/s, which jump to 4.3–4.7 km/s in the upper mantle. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
