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 ...

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.

The Turkish Dilatancy Project (TDP3): multidisciplinary studies of a potential earthquake source region [PDF]
, 1987 The section of the North Anatolian Fault lying near the city of Izmit, at the east of the Marmara Sea, has been identified as a seismic gap and the possible site of a future major earthquake.

Finite-Frequency SKS Splitting: Measurement and Sensitivity Kernels [PDF]
, 2008 Splitting of SKS waves caused by anisotropy may be analyzed by measuring the splitting intensity, i.e., the amplitude of the transverse signal relative to the radial signal in the SKS time window. This quantity is simply related to structural parameters.

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

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.
