“…In the seismological community, the receiver function method has been widely used to image subsurface discontinuities such as the Moho (e.g., Langston, 1979;Xu et al, 2007), mantle discontinuities (e.g., Huang et al, 2014;Vinnik, 1977) and a subducting slab interface (e.g., Cheng et al, 2017;Paulssen & De Vos, 2017), usually employing incident P waves from teleseismic earthquakes. The receiver function method is not, or least not commonly, used by the exploration seismology community.…”
