We use 1.5\u00a0years of continuous recordings from an amphibious\nseismic network deployment in the region of northeastern South America and\nthe southeastern Caribbean to study the crustal and uppermost mantle structure\nthrough a joint inversion of surface-wave dispersion curves determined from\nambient seismic noise and receiver functions. The availability of both ocean\nbottom seismometers (OBSs) and land stations makes this experiment ideal to\ndetermine the best processing methods to extract reliable empirical Green's\nfunctions (EGFs) and construct a 3D shear velocity model. Results show EGFs\nwith high signal-to-noise ratio for land\u2013land, land\u2013OBS and OBS\u2013OBS paths\nfrom a variety of stacking methods. Using the EGF estimates, we measure\nphase and group velocity dispersion curves for Rayleigh and Love waves. We\ncomplement these observations with receiver functions, which allow us to\nperform an H-k analysis to obtain Moho depth estimates across the study\narea. The measured dispersion curves and receiver functions are used in a\nBayesian joint inversion to retrieve a series of 1D shear-wave velocity\nmodels, which are then interpolated to build a 3D model of the region. Our\nresults display clear contrasts in the oceanic region across the border of\nthe San Sebastian\u2013El Pilar strike-slip fault system as well as a high-velocity region that corresponds well with the continental craton of\nsoutheastern Venezuela. We resolve known geological features in our new\nmodel, including the Espino Graben and the Guiana Shield provinces, and\nprovide new information about their crustal structures. Furthermore, we\nimage the difference in the crust beneath the Matur\u00edn and Gu\u00e1rico\nsub-basins.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5194\/se-13-1781-2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,18]],"date-time":"2022-11-18T07:26:34Z","timestamp":1668756394000},"page":"1781-1801","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Upper-lithospheric structure of northeastern Venezuela from joint inversion of surface-wave dispersion and receiver functions"],"prefix":"10.5194","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2602-5014","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto","family":"Cabieces","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Mariano S.","family":"Arnaiz-Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8592-4832","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"Villase\u00f1or","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Elizabeth","family":"Berg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5957-942X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9s","family":"Olivar-Casta\u00f1o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2880-8453","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergi","family":"Ventosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ana M.
