Distributed Lower‐Crustal Flow Beneath the Central Xianshuihe–Xiaojiang Fault System: Reconciling Geodesy and Geology

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract We use recently compiled GNSS velocities across the Zemuhe‐Daliangshan fault zone, part of the central Xianshuihe‐Xiaojiang fault system, to reconcile a long‐standing mismatch between geodetic and geologic slip‐rate estimates. We show that conventional elastic dislocation models yield slip rates and locking depths that conflict with seismic ...

Insights on the African Upper Mantle From Quasi‐Love Wave Scattering

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
The African upper mantle is diverse, featuring several cratonic roots, active and magmatic continental rifting, abundant intra‐plate volcanism, and several oceanic hotspots offshore.

A Review of Seismic Anisotropy

open access: yes, 2016
Lithosphere is usually modeled as a layered isotropic medium. However, in reality, upper mantle is anisotropic as evidenced by the azimuthal dependence of P and S wave propagation speed. Probable causes of the observed seismic wave propagation anisotropy include the aligned crystal structure of minerals, aligned cracks and fractures. This anisotropy in

Shear-wave attenuation anisotropy: a new constraint on mantle melt near the Main Ethiopian Rift

open access: yesSeismica
The behaviour of fluids in preferentially aligned fractures plays an important role in a range of dynamic processes within the Earth. In the near-surface, understanding systems of fluid-filled fractures is crucial for applications such as geothermal ...

Meltwater Orientations Modify Seismic Anisotropy in Temperate Ice

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Seismology is increasingly used to infer the magnitude and direction of glacial ice flow. However, the effects of interstitial meltwater on seismic properties remain poorly constrained.
