Sierra Nevada EarthScope Project (SNEP)
P-Receiver Function Stacks• Sharp, shallow Moho in
the east vs. diffuse, deep Moho to the west
• Represents change from removed to intact residual mantle lithosphere

P-Receiver Function Stacks
• Intact mantle lithosphere and corresponding petrologic Moho extends along western edge of central Sierra Nevada batholith
• Spatially consistent with• Low heat flow• Dense/mafic xenoliths• Seismicity• Fast seismic
wavespeed anomalies
