Shear wave splitting in SE Brazil: an effect of active or fossil upper mantle flow, or both? [PDF]
, 2003 International audienceWe investigated the structure of the upper mantle beneath southeastern Brazil using teleseismic shear wave splitting measurements. Measurements were performed on seismic data recorded in the Ribeira and Brasilia Neoproterozoic belts,

Crust-mantle decoupling revealed by seismic velocity anisotropy beneath Syowa Station, Antarctica
Antarctic Record, 1997 We analyzed shear wave splittings in the crust beneath Syowa Station, using Moho converted Ps waves. Three set of receiver functions and stacked receiver functions from Tonga events are analyzed.

Time Varying Crustal Anisotropy at Whakaari/White Island Volcano
Geophysical Research LettersWhakaari/White Island has been the most active New Zealand volcano in the 21st century, producing small phreatic and phreatomagmatic eruptions, which are hard to predict.

Small Shear Wave Splitting Delays Suggest Weak Anisotropy in Cratonic Mantle Lithosphere
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 We use splitting in core‐refracted teleseismic shear waves (SKS, PKS, and similar) to investigate anisotropic properties of the upper mantle beneath the Superior craton in eastern North America and the Yilgarn craton in Western Australia.

Upper mantle anisotropy beneath the African IRIS and Geoscope stations [PDF]
, 2001 International audienceUpper mantle anisotropy beneath the African IRIS and Geoscope stations is investigated through the measurements of splitting of teleseismic shear waves such as SKS, SKKS and PKS phases.

Low-Frequency Raman Modes and Electronic Excitations In Atomically Thin MoS2 Crystals [PDF]
, 2012 Atomically thin MoS$_{2}$ crystals have been recognized as a quasi-2D semiconductor with remarkable physics properties. This letter reports our Raman scattering measurements on multilayer and monolayer MoS$_{2}$, especially in the low-frequency range ($
