Seismic anisotropy in siliciclastic reservoir rocks [PDF]
, 2006 The interpretation of geophysical field measurements of seismic anisotropy is presently limited by our knowledge of the controls of the elastic anisotropy of sedimentary rocks in the subsurface. Traditionally, laboratory ultrasonic velocity measurements

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

Research progress on layered seismic anisotropy - A review
Earthquake 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.
