dc.description.abstractThe North American-Caribbean plate boundary near the islands of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico is a complex region in which strain is accommodated by different modes of deformation. In 2013, 16 broadband stations were deployed in the Dominican Republic to densify the local permanent network. One goal is to combine their data with those from permanent networks in the Caribbean to develop a better understanding of the crust and upper mantle structure in the Greater Antilles. Here we use the records of 204 stations spanning almost 7 years of data to obtain group velocity maps. We observe at short periods the contacts between accreted terranes and the igneous provinces of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, at longer periods the collisional boundary between the buoyant Bahamas Carbonate Platform and Hispaniola, and the transition from Hispaniola's accreted terranes to the faster lithosphere of the Venezuelan Basin and Cayman Trough.
