Seismic anisotropy at Hydrate Ridge [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2006
P‐wave velocity increases in the presence of gas hydrates and decreases in the presence of free gas in the sediments, making it an excellent means to investigate gas hydrate systems. However, seismic velocity is typically derived from surface seismic data without consideration of seismic anisotropy.

Research progress and current status of dynamic wave propagation characteristics in rock mass: A review

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This review elucidates the velocity–dispersion–attenuation coupling mechanisms of wave propagation in rock masses, compares six representative models, and reveals how pressure, temperature, mineral composition, and anisotropy jointly control dynamic responses in complex geological media.

Possible layered lithospheric anisotropy around Longmenshan Faults by teleseismic S wave splitting and receiver functions

Frontiers in Earth Science
This study conducts an in-depth analysis of seismic anisotropy around the Longmenshan Faults. Utilizing a dataset of about 7710 earthquake catalogs from July 2007 to March 2023, we applied S wave splitting and receiver function methods to examine Pms and

Lowermost Mantle Flow at Thermochemical Piles Constrained by Shear Wave Anisotropy: Insights From Combined Geodynamic and Mantle Fabric Simulations at Global Scale

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Seismic anisotropy is observed in the lowermost few hundred kilometers of the mantle. This anisotropy likely signifies strong deformation, possibly caused by mantle flow interacting with the edges of Large Low‐Shear‐Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) or by the ...

Thermal‐induced fracture evolution and acoustic signature of Beishan granite: Insights into tensile strength of barrier system for high‐level radioactive waste disposal

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.

Mantle Structure and Flow Across the Continent‐Ocean Transition of the Eastern North American Margin: Anisotropic S‐Wave Tomography

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Little has been seismically imaged through the lithosphere and mantle at rifted margins across the continent‐ocean transition. A 2014–2015 community seismic experiment deployed broadband seismic instruments across the shoreline of the eastern North ...

Fluid‐induced slip on a rate‐and‐state fault during co‐ and post‐injection: The interplay of fluid pressure diffusion and poroelastic stress

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Fault slip can occur ahead of the injection pressure front due to poroelastic stress. Our model captures the interaction of pressure, stress, and friction, providing new insights into injection‐induced seismicity and post‐injection fault slip. Shut‐in operations can either mitigate or accelerate seismic events depending on fault conditions and ...
