Deformation in Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica: measuring shear-wave anisotropy from icequakes [PDF]

, 2013
Ice streams provide major drainage pathways for the Antarctic ice sheet. The stress distribution and style of flow in such ice streams produce elastic and rheological anisotropy, which informs ice-flow modelling as to how ice masses respond to external

A Review of Seismic Anisotropy

, 2016
Lithosphere is usually modeled as a layered isotropic medium. However, in reality, upper mantle is anisotropic as evidenced by the azimuthal dependence of P and S wave propagation speed. Probable causes of the observed seismic wave propagation anisotropy include the aligned crystal structure of minerals, aligned cracks and fractures. This anisotropy in

Upper Mantle Anisotropy and Flow Beneath the Pacific Ocean Revealed by Differential PS‐SKS Splitting

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Upper mantle anisotropy has been mapped beneath continents at high spatial resolution. Beneath the oceans, however, shear wave splitting constraints on upper mantle anisotropy are sparse, due to the paucity of seismic receivers. A technique that does not

Collocated Geotechnical and Geophysical Test Dataset at Three Sites in Napier, New Zealand

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Reliable assessment of liquefaction hazard, particularly in the context of groundwater fluctuations associated with hydroclimatic changes and variability between liquefaction assessment methods, necessitates supplementary data and advanced site characterization methods.

Effects of Ambient Moisture and Large‐Strain Dynamic Preloading on the Dynamic Properties of the EAC‐1A Regolith Simulant

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 16, Page 5701-5711, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The EAC‐1A lunar mare simulant, a silty sand, was selected by the European Astronaut Center (EAC) for use in the LUNA analogue facility's lunar simulation testbed. Its stress‐ and strain‐dependent shear modulus and damping ratio were determined via resonant column testing on specimens prepared either from ambient moisture material or oven ...

An Innovative Approach for Estimating Coseismic Surface Uplifts Using Ionospheric Observations From Remote GNSS Stations: First Application for the 2025 Myanmar Earthquake

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract The Mw 7.7 Myanmar earthquake on 28 March 2025 ruptured ∼480 km of the Sagaing Fault. Its fault slip distribution remains poorly constrained by three‐dimensional surface displacement data due to sparse GNSS‐coverage near the fault. Satellite‐based synthetic aperture radars capture meters of right‐lateral displacements but isolating vertical ...

Anisotropy of permeability, P-wave velocity and electrical resistivity of Upper Cretaceous carbonate samples from Tushka Area, Western Desert, Egypt

Egyptian Journal of Petroleum, 2019
Petrophysical properties (such as porosity, permeability, grain density, bulk density, electrical resistivity, and P-wave velocity), as well as the anisotropy of the permeability, seismic velocity (P-wave velocity) and electrical resistivity were ...

Onset of Thrusting at ca. 23 Ma in East Kunlun Mountains, Northern Tibet, Recorded by Syntectonic Strata

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract The timing of Cenozoic deformation in the East Kunlun Mountains, northern Tibet, is crucial for understanding plateau growth but remains disputed due to the scarcity of direct chronological constraints on specific tectonic structures. Here, we present a high‐density‐sampling magnetostratigraphic record from the Xiaohongshan section, interior ...

Crustal Seismic Anisotropy in Shandong

DEStech Transactions on Materials Science and Engineering, 2017
Based on the seismic data of near-field source from Shandong Seismic Network, the study obtained the shear-wave splitting parameters from multiple stations. The results show that dominant directions of polarizations of fast shear-waves reflect the spatial distribution characteristics of tectonic stress in this area, CHD and LIS stations show 2 dominant

Tracing Mantle Upwellings Beneath Changbaishan/Mount Paektu: New Insights From Transition Zone Discontinuity Structure

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.
Abstract Intraplate volcanism in Northeast Asia, located in a distant back‐arc setting, challenges conventional models of mantle convection and volatile cycling. Using receiver function data from over 300 broadband stations, we image the mantle transition zone (MTZ) beneath the Changbaishan/Paektu volcano.
