The Deep Roots of Geology: Tectonic History of Australia Preserved as Mantle Anisotropy [PDF]
, 2021 Abstract Australia is an old stable continent with a rich geological history. Limitations in sub-surface imaging below the Moho, however, mean that is unclear to what extent, and to what depth, this rich geological history is expressed in the mantle.

The Deep Roots of Geology: Tectonic History of Australia and its Margins expressed by Mantle Anisotropy [PDF]
, 2021 Abstract The Australian continental crust preserves a rich geological history, but it is unclear to what extent this history is expressed deeper within the mantle. Scattering of surface waves predominantly between 100-200 km depth by lateral gradients in seismic anisotropy, termed Quasi-Love waves, offer potential new insights.

The Deep Roots of Geology: Tectonic History of Australia as expressed by Mantle Anisotropy 
, 2022 <p>Australia is an old stable continent with a rich geological history. Limitations in sub-surface seismic imaging below the Moho, however, mean that is unclear to what extent, and to what depth, this rich geological history is expressed in the mantle. Studies of seismic anisotropy, which reflect past/present mantle deformation, can offer

The African upper mantle and its relationship to tectonics and surface geology [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2008 This paper focuses on the upper-mantle velocity structure of the African continent and its relationship to the surface geology. The distribution of seismographs and earthquakes providing seismograms for this study results in good fundamental and higher mode path coverage by a large number of relatively short propagation paths, allowing us to image the ...

Mantle structural geology from seismic anisotropy
, 1999 Seismic anisotropy is a ubiquitous feature of the subcontinental mantle. This can be inferred both from direct seismic observations of shear wave splitting from teleseismic shear waves, as well as the petrofabric analyses of mantle nodules from kimberlite pipes. The anisotropy is principally due to the strain-induced lattice preferred orientation (LPO)

Geoscience Canada, 2014 Geological evidence, including the presence of two passive margin platforms, juxtaposed and mismatched deformation between North America and more outboard terranes, as well as the lack of rift deposits, suggest that North America was the lower plate during both the Sevier and Laramide events and that subduction dipped westward beneath the Cordilleran ...

Crust-Mantle Interaction Controls the Formation of High-Mg Adakitic Rocks: Evidence from Early Cretaceous Intrusive Complexes in Luxi Terrane, North China Craton [PDF]
Lithosphere, 2023 High-Mg adakite rocks preserve crucial information about the crust-mantle interactions during the magma evolution. The Luxi Terrane, southeastern North China Craton, stores a set of Early Cretaceous high-Mg adakite rocks; nevertheless, their petrogenesis
