Seismic Anisotropy and Flow in the Mantle
1997Seismic anisotropy is a dependence of velocities of seismic waves on their polarizations and directions of propagation. Anisotropy of the uppermost mantle is caused mainly by lattice preferred orientation (LPO) of olivine, the most abundant and highly anisotropic mineral.

Flow and Fluid Behaviour of the Mantle
2014With Chap. 13, we move from the lithosphere to the underlying mantle. In fact, this chapter introduces the important theme of mantle dynamics, in particular thermal convection and asthenosphere currents. Navier-Stokes and energy balance equations are derived and discussed, along with the classic Boussinesq approximation.

Constraining mantle heterogeneity and mantle flow using seismic and geodynamic data
2018In this dissertation, I have developed new 3-D models of mantle heterogeneity using seismic and geodynamic data to better understand the thermo-chemical composition of the mantle and its dynamics. First, the effect of subducting slabs in global shear wave tomography has been evaluated.
