Seismic probing of the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary ( LAB ) has to date been based on conversions of earthquake-generated seismic waves. Typical frequencies used are less than 1Hz. In this study we take a different approach and use large ( 500 kg) explosive charges recorded by a 900 seismograph array to image the base of the oceanic plate ( beneath eastern North Island, New Zealand) with ~ 14 Hz waves. The sharpness, the character and depth of the LAB contribute to some revised views on how the oceanic LAB works.
