We present a new digital model (EuCRUST-07) for the crust of Western
and Central Europe and surroundings (35N-71N, 25W-35E). Available
results of seismic reflection, refraction and receiver functions
studies are assembled in an integrated model at a uniform grid (15'x15').
The model consists of three layers: sediments and two layers of the
crystalline crust. Besides depth to the boundaries, we provide average
P-wave velocities in the upper and lower parts of the crystalline
crust. The new model demonstrates large differences in the Moho depth
compared to previous compilations, over +-10 km in some specific
areas (e.g. the Baltic Shield). Furthermore, the velocity structure
of the crust is much more heterogeneous than in previous maps. EuCRUST-07
offers a starting point for numerical modeling of deeper structures
by allowing correction for crustal effects beforehand and to resolve
trade-off with mantle heterogeneities.
