Abstract
The geological record of SE Canada spans more than 2.5Ga, making it a
natural laboratory for the study of crustal formation and evolution over time.
We estimate the crustal thickness, Poisson’s ratio, a proxy for bulk crustal
composition, and shear velocity (Vs) structure from receiver functions at a network of seismograph stations recently deployed across the Archean Superior craton, the Proterozoic Grenville and the Phanerozoic Appalachian provinces.
