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

open access: yesGeochemistry, 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 ...

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

open access: yesGeochemistry, 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 ...

Inversion for Anisotropic Velocity Parameter [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The problem under study concerns the robust computation of a certain parameter of anisotropy from observed travel-times of a seismic shear wave propagating through a geological medium. We have obtained an exact mathematical description of a geoseismic

3D Quantification of Subsidence During Pyrenean Retro‐Wedge Initiation: Role of Structural and Thermal Inheritance on Hyperextended Margin Inversion (Aquitaine Basin)

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present novel 3D subsidence data enabling vertical movements' quantification during the early formation of the Pyrenean retro‐wedge. From Cenomanian to Turonian times, subsidence is relatively low (~26 ± 10 m/Myr), corresponding to a brief 10 Myr thermal re‐equilibration of the European lithosphere following the hyperextended rift episode ...

Seismic Anisotropy Within an Active Fluid Flow Structure: Scanner Pockmark, North Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Understanding sub-seabed fluid flow mechanisms is important for determining their significance for ocean chemistry and to define fluid pathways above sub-seafloor CO2 storage reservoirs.

Estimating anisotropy parameters and traveltimes in the tau-p domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The presence of anisotropy influences many aspects of seismic wave propagation and has therefore implications for conventional processing schemes. To estimate the anisotropy, we need both forward modelling and inversion tools. Exact forward modelling

Linking Stress Drop and Slip Heterogeneity to Assess Source Rupture Directivity for Earthquakes in Central Italy

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we examine the relationship between Brune stress drop and fault slip where the stress drop is estimated using the Empirical Green's Function (EGF) method and slip distribution is derived from seismic and geodetic data inversion.

Anisotropic structure of the Australian continent

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The Australian continent preserves some of the oldest lithosphere on Earth in the Yilgarn, Pilbara, and Gawler Cratons. In this study we present shear wave splitting and Ps receiver function results at long running stations across the continent.

Seismic anisotropy as a constraint on composition in the lower crust [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Our current interpretation of the composition of the middle and lower crust comes mainly from seismic observations, yet it remains a challenge to link seismic observations directly to composition.
