A study of the structure of the Belgian crust by Moho determination and local seismic tomography

In Belgium not much is known about the extension of the different crustal structures into the middle and lower crust. Until now, only seismic profiles and gravimetric and magnetic data gave some insights. The general aim of this thesis is to improve the understanding of the lower/middle crustal structure of Belgium. This will be achieved by determining the Moho depth and performing a local seismic tomography. The Moho is rather flat underneath Belgium with Moho depths ranging from 31 km underneath the Brabant Massif (BM) over 31-33 km underneath the Roer Valley Graben (RVG) and the Ardennes Al... Mehr ...
