Shear Wave Splitting and Mantle Flow Beneath Alaska
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2020 Shear wave splitting is often assumed to be caused by mantle flow or preexisting lithospheric fabrics. We present 2,389 new SKS shear wave splitting observations from 384 broadband stations deployed in Alaska from January 2010 to August 2017.

Apparent Splitting of S Waves Propagating Through an Isotropic Lowermost Mantle [PDF]
, 2018 Observations of shear wave anisotropy are key for understanding the mineralogical structure and flow in the mantle. Several researchers have reported the presence of seismic anisotropy in the lowermost 150–250 km of the mantle (i.e., D urn:x-wiley:jgrb ...

Finite-frequency sensitivity of body waves to anisotropy based upon adjoint methods [PDF]
, 2007 We investigate the sensitivity of finite-frequency body-wave observables to mantle anisotropy based upon kernels calculated by combining adjoint methods and spectral-element modelling of seismic wave propagation.

, 2020 Observations of seismic anisotropy in the lowermost mantle—D″—are abundant. As seismic anisotropy is known to develop as a response to plastic flow in the mantle, constraining lowermost mantle anisotropy allows us to better understand mantle dynamics ...

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

Sub-slab mantle anisotropy beneath south-central Chile [PDF]
, 2012 Knowledge of mantle flow in convergent margins is crucial to unravelling both the contemporary geodynamics and the past evolution of subduction zones. By analysing shear-wave splitting in both teleseismic and local arrivals, we can determine the relative

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
