Abstract

We present a new digital Moho depth map of the Carpathian-Pannonian region. The map was produced by compiling Moho discontinuity depth data, which were obtained by interpretation of seismic measurements taking into account the results of 2-D and 3-D integrated geophysical modelling. The resultant map is characterized by significant Moho-depth variations. The trends and features of the Moho in this region were correlated with tectonic units.
