Abstract
Summary. A reconnaissance study of crust and mantle structure in southeastern China was made using surface waves confined to that region from recent earthquakes. Data from the WWSSN stations ANP arid SEO, and from the digital stations TATO and MAT, were used to measure fundamental-mode group velocities of Love and Rayleigh waves over nine paths in south-eastern China, an area which has been technically quiet since the early Cenozoic. Crustal structure in this region is typical of stable continents, but shear-wave velocities in the uppermost mantle are low for a continent, 4.45 km s−1 or less. Other seismological data support this observation.
