Seismic Anisotropy in Subduction Zones: Evaluating the Role of Chloritoid
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Subduction zones are often characterized by the presence of strong trench-parallel seismic anisotropy and large delay times. Hydrous minerals, owing to their large elastic anisotropy and strong lattice preferred orientations (LPOs), are often invoked to ...

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

Finite-Frequency SKS Splitting: Measurement and Sensitivity Kernels [PDF]
, 2008 Splitting of SKS waves caused by anisotropy may be analyzed by measuring the splitting intensity, i.e., the amplitude of the transverse signal relative to the radial signal in the SKS time window. This quantity is simply related to structural parameters.
