Teleseismic tomography model of Macquarie Island and surrounding region

3-D P-wave velocity model of the crust and uppermost mantle beneath Macquarie Island and surrounding region from teleseismic tomography. The dataset contains data and files that can be used to plot the teleseismic tomography model that was produced from broadband seismic data collected as part of the Macquarie Ridge experiment undertaken in 2020-2021 (NERC grant NE/T000082/1). The model region approximately spans 53° - 56° South and 157° - 160.5° East. The data can be accessed from the AusPass data portal at https://auspass.edu.au/networks/macquarieridge.html. The information contained in this repository can be used to plot or otherwise use this model for other purposes. The dataset includes a detailed description of the format in a README file.

NERC/BGS accepts no liability whatever in respect of loss, damage, injury or other occurence however caused.

Other constraints: Either: (i) the dataset is made freely available, e.g. via the Internet, for a restricted category of use (e.g. educational use only); or (ii) the dataset has not been formally approved by BGS for access and use by external clients under licence, but its use may be permitted under alternative formal arrangements; or (iii) the dataset contains 3rd party data or information obtained by BGS under terms and conditions that must be consulted in order to determine the permitted usage of the dataset. Refer to the BGS staff member responsible for the creation of the dataset if further advice is required. He / she should be familiar with the composition of the dataset, particularly with regard to 3rd party IPR contained in it, and any resultant use restrictions. This staff member should revert to the IPR Section (ipr@bgs.ac.uk ) for advice, should the position not be clear.
