Project studies the deep structure of mountain belts, using                     seismic earthquake techniques.  Investigates evidence for                       concentrated downwelling of mantle material beneath the active                  mountain ranges.  Measures mean S wave time delays from                         earthquakes in Asia to stations at teleseismic distances to map                 low velocity zone under Tibet, and also in Tien Shan.  Project                  utilizes synthetic seismograms of P and SH phases to constrain                  fault solutions.  Project quantifies the mantle velocity                        structure in the asian region.
