Upper mantle anisotropy from shear wave splitting of teleseismic earthquakes in the Kumaun-Garhwal and adjoining area of NW Himalaya

open access: yesJournal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2021
Teleseismic earthquakes data recorded by 8 broadband digital seismic stations deployed in the Kumaun-Garhwal and adjoining area of NW Himalaya are analyzed to investigate the seismic anisotropy in the upper mantle. Shear-wave splitting parameters (ɸ and ∂

Seismic wave propagation in anisotropic ice – Part 1: Elasticity tensor and derived quantities from ice-core properties [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere, 2015
A preferred orientation of the anisotropic ice crystals influences the viscosity of the ice bulk and the dynamic behaviour of glaciers and ice sheets. Knowledge about the distribution of crystal anisotropy is mainly provided by crystal orientation fabric

Modeling of Seismic Anisotropy Observations Reveals Plausible Lowermost Mantle Flow Directions Beneath Siberia

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Observations of seismic anisotropy just above the core‐mantle boundary are a powerful way to understand the dynamics of the lowermost mantle. Here we present models of seismic anisotropy in the lowermost mantle beneath Siberia based on new and previously

Effects of Background Porosity on Seismic Anisotropy in Fractured Rocks: An Experimental Study

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Fractures are widely distributed in the subsurface and are crucial for hydrocarbon, CCS, offshore infrastructure (windfarms), and geothermal seismic surveys.

Mantle-flow diversion beneath the Iranian plateau induced by Zagros’ lithospheric keel

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Previous investigation of seismic anisotropy indicates the presence of a simple mantle flow regime beneath the Turkish-Anatolian Plateau and Arabian Plate.

The anisotropy of hexagonal close-packed iron under inner core conditions: the effect of light elements

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics, 2022
In recent decades, global seismic observations have identified increasingly complex anisotropy of the Earth’s inner core. Numerous seismic studies have confirmed hemispherical variations in the inner core’s anisotropy.

Research progress on layered seismic anisotropy - A review

open access: yesEarthquake Research Advances, 2021
Seismic anisotropy is an effective feature to study the inner structure of the Earth. In complex tectonic area, the assumption of single-layer anisotropy is sometimes not well consistent with the observed data; thus, the assumption of multi-layered (i.e.

Seismic anisotropy of Opalinus Clay: tomographic investigations using the infrastructure of an underground rock laboratory (URL)

open access: yesSwiss Journal of Geosciences, 2021
Seismic anisotropy and attenuation make claystone formations difficult to characterize. On the other hand, in many geotechnical environments, precise knowledge of structure and elastic properties of clay formations is needed. In crystalline and rock salt

Seismic Anisotropy—Introduction [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysics, 2011
This special section is dedicated to seismic anisotropy, which is playing an increasingly more important role in our understanding and modelling of the subsurface. Most papers published in this section were presented at the 14th International Workshop on Seismic Anisotropy (IWSA), which was held on 12–16 April 2010 in Hillarys, Perth, Western Australia.
