Stress-dependent shear wave splitting and permeability in fractured porous rock
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2019 It is well known that shear wave propagates slower across than parallel to a fracture, and as a result, a travelling shear wave splits into two directions when it encounters a fracture.

Seismic anisotropy beneath the Chinese Mainland: Constraints from shear wave splitting analyses
Earthquake Research Advances, 2021 We use earthquakes recorded by the China National Seismic Network from 2015 to 2019 and measure shear wave splitting parameters of SKS to study the anisotropic characteristics beneath the mainland of China.

Deriving micro- to macro-scale seismic velocities from ice-core c axis orientations [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 One of the great challenges in glaciology is the ability to estimate the bulk ice anisotropy in ice sheets and glaciers, which is needed to improve our understanding of ice-sheet dynamics.

Cejing jishu, 2023 The wave field data which is monitored the fracturing crack by micro seismic in the well is complex, especially when the shear wave (S-wave) encounters the fracture. The shear wave will split into the fast or slow wave. The polarization directions of the

New “Fresnel‐Zone” estimates for shear‐wave splitting observations from finite‐difference modeling
Geophysical Research Letters, 2000 We employ full finite‐difference modeling to study effects of teleseismic shear‐wave splitting in 2D upper‐mantle models with lateral variations of anisotropy. In our models the anisotropy is confined to a layer at variable depth within the top 550 km of

Mantle flow through a tear in the Nazca slab inferred from shear wave splitting
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 A tear in the subducting Nazca slab is located between the end of the Pampean flat slab and normally subducting oceanic lithosphere. Tomographic studies suggest mantle material flows through this opening.

Mantle Flow Pattern Associated With the Patagonian Slab Window Determined From Azimuthal Anisotropy
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Geological processes in Southern Patagonia are affected by the Patagonian slab window, formed by the subduction of the Chile Ridge and subsequent northward migration of the Chile Triple Junction.

Upper crust anisotropy of the 2020 Jiashi MS 6.4 earthquake
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 The 2020 Jiashi MS 6.4 earthquake occurred north of the 1997–1998 Jiashi earthquake swarm. Because of its complex tectonic environment and frequent strong earthquake occurrence, scholars have paid extensive attention to this area.
