SplitLab: A shear-wave splitting environment in Matlab [PDF]
We present a graphical user interface to facilitate the processing of teleseismic shear-wave splitting observations. In contrast to a fully automated technique, we present a manual, per-event approach that maintains user control during the sequence of processing.

Teleseismic shear wave splitting measurements in noisyenvironments [PDF]
SUMMARY High noise levels hamper teleseismic shear wave splitting measurements, which bandpass filtering does not always help. To investigate how robust splitting measurements are to noise, we analysed a set of synthetic records with known splitting parameters and added fixed levels of noise.

Full‐wave effects on shear wave splitting [PDF]
AbstractSeismic anisotropy in the mantle plays an important role in our understanding of the Earth's internal dynamics, and shear wave splitting has always been a key observable in the investigation of seismic anisotropy. To date the interpretation of shear wave splitting in terms of anisotropy has been largely based on ray‐theoretical modeling of a ...

Shear-Wave Splitting in the Alpine Region [PDF]
<p>To constrain seismic anisotropy under and around the Alps in Europe, we study SKS shear-wave splitting from the region densely covered by the AlpArray seismic network. We apply a technique based on measuring the splitting intensity, constraining well both the fast orientation and the splitting delay.

Sensitivity of shear wave splitting to fracture connectivity [PDF]
SUMMARY Shear wave splitting (SWS) is currently considered to be the most robust seismic attribute to characterize fractures in geological formations. Despite its importance, the influence of fluid pressure communication between connected fractures on SWS remains largely unexplored.

Shear‐wave splitting beneath the Galápagos archipelago [PDF]
Shear‐wave splitting measurements in the Galápagos archipelago show a rapid change from consistently oriented anisotropy to no measurable anisotropy. At the western edge of the archipelago delay times are 0.4–0.9 s and fast polarization directions are 81–109°E. These directions are consistent with anisotropy resulting from shear of the asthenosphere by

Shear-wave splitting and earthquake forecasting [PDF]
AbstractSeismic shear‐wave splitting (SWS) monitors the low‐level deformation of fluid‐saturated microcracked rock. We report evidence of systematic SWS changes, recorded above small earthquakes, monitoring the accumulation of stress before earthquakes that allows the time and magnitude of impending large earthquakes to be stress‐forecast.

Shear-wave splitting in the mantle of the pacific [PDF]
SUMMARY The bulk of previously known data on seismic anisotropy in the suboceanic mantle was obtained from observations of azimuthal variations of the surface-wave and P, velocities. Our study of azimuthal anisotropy in the mantle of the Pacific is based on observations of shear-wave splitting. The idea of our method of measurement (Vinnik & Farra 1992)

Shear‐wave splitting observations across southwest Ireland [PDF]
Shear‐wave splitting analyses have been carried out on teleseismic data from the southwest of Ireland acquired during the Irish Seismological Lithospheric Experiment (ISLE). The data were gathered over a ten‐month period by a temporary network of 23 broadband and short‐period stations.
