A Common Diffusional Mechanism for Creep and Grain Growth in Polymineralic Rocks: Application to Lower Mantle Viscosity Estimates

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 129, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract In a previous study (Okamoto & Hiraga, 2022, https://doi.org/10.1029/2022jb024638), we concluded that diffusion creep and grain growth in polymineralic rocks proceed by a common diffusional mechanism. Here, we built on that finding and estimated lower mantle grain size and viscosity during a single mantle convection cycle dominated by ...

Amplitude‐Dependent Energy Dissipation Inferred From Spectral Analyses of Intraslab Earthquakes

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 129, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract While the Earth (rocky planet) can be approximated as an elastic body, it also possesses anelasticity, Q−1, which causes energy dissipation (intrinsic attenuation) during deformation. Rock deformation experiments have demonstrated that Q−1 shows a marked amplitude dependency for strain of >∼10−6, but seismic‐waves‐induced strain is generally ...

Did the 1977 Sumba earthquake excite the Chandler wobble?

open access: yes, 1997
The potential role of large earthquakes on the excitation of the Earth's free wobble has been the subject of various investigations. It is nowadays recognized that the coseismic moment released by large earthquakes is not large enough to maintain the ...

On Estimation of the Period of Chandler Wobble

open access: yes, 1985
Исходя из гипотезы о регулярных биениях в движении полюсов Земли, дается уточненное значение периода Чандлера, равное 431.65 суткам.A more accurate estimation of the period of Chandler wobble (431.65 days) is given using the hypothesis of regular beating

The Excitation of the Chandler Wobble by Earthquakes [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 1971
Summary Elastic dislocation theory has been extended to deal with point tangential displacement dislocations in a spherically symmetric, self-gravitating Earth model with a fluid core and with arbitrary radial variations in density and in the elastic velocities. This theory may be used to compute the changes in the products of inertia of a realistic

A stochastic excitation model for the study of the Chandler wobble

open access: yes, 2002
Based on the hypothesis that the Chandler wobble is excited by stochastic motions, a nonlinear, stochastic model is proposed consisting of a random Heaviside step function and an Eulerian centred differential scheme for a linear oscillator with drag. The

Global postseismic deformation in a stratified viscoelastic Earth: Effects on Chandler Wobble Excitation

open access: yes, 1983
The principal purpose of this paper is to examine whether movement of matter in a stratified viscoelastic earth can enhance the excitation of the Chandler wobble.

Inversion of polar motion data: Chandler wobble, phase jumps, and geomagnetic jerks

open access: yes, 2008
International audienceWe reconsider the analysis of the polar motion with a method totally different from the wavelet analysis used in previous papers.
