Crustal structure of the Western Carpathians and Pannonian Basin: Seismic models from CELEBRATION 2000 data and geological implications

► We model seven interlocking profiles employing 2-D ray tracing for refracted and reflected waves. ► The resulting models reveal large variations in the depth of the Moho discontinuity (∼25-45 km). ► The thin crust of the Pannonian basin consists two layers (2.35-6.3; 6.3-6.6 km/s). ► Sub-Moho velocities have average values of 7.8-8.0 km/s for the Pannonian basin. ► For the Western Carpathians, the TESZ and the EEC area sub-Moho velocites are 8.0-8.1 km/s.
