Abstract：Because of its strong penetrating capability,the natural seismic receiving function has become the most widely used method for detecting crust-mantle structure.As the understanding of the structure and dynamic processes in the crust and upper mantle has advanced,the broadband seismic array with relatively large station spa-cing has become incompetent to the high-resolution imaging.The Dense Nodal Seismic Array(DNA),composed of hundreds of short-period portable digital high-frequency seismometers,offers a solution with station spacing as small as a few hundred meters,allowing for the collection of substantial observational data in a short time(1-2 months).Its advantages mainly include three aspects:(1)Good cross-ray-path coverage in the crust,conducive to improving imaging resolution;(2)Densely distributed ray-paths,facilitating noise suppression through coherent stacking of receiver functions,allowing for high-frequency receiver function imaging of crustal structures;(3)High efficiency due to the short observation time.Therefore,short-period dense array has become one of seismic obser-vation approach commonly adopted in deep crustal structure research for only a few years.This paper mainly intro-duces the origin of short-period dense array in deep crustal structure exploration,and demonstrates its exploration effect and application in different tectonic domains through several typical exploration examples.
