Poloidal‐ and Toroidal‐Mode Mantle Flows Underneath the Cascadia Subduction Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain intriguing circular shear wave splitting patterns in the Pacific Northwest, invoking either 2‐D entrained flows or 3‐D return flows. Here, we present some hitherto unidentified, depth‐dependent anisotropic

Shear wave splitting of the 2018 Lombok earthquake aftershock area, Indonesia

Geoscience Letters, 2023
Lombok is one of the islands in the transitional zone from the Sunda Arc to the Banda Arc, Indonesia. In the mid-2018, the island of Lombok was shaken by a series of strong earthquakes, started with a moment magnitude (Mw) 6.4 earthquake on July 29, 2018

The origin of shear wave splitting beneath Iceland [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 2015
The origin of shear wave splitting (SWS) in the mantle beneath Iceland is examined using numerical models that simulate 3-D mantle flow and the development of seismic anisotropy due to lattice-preferred orientation (LPO). Using the simulated anisotropy structure, we compute synthetic SKS waveforms, invert them for fast polarization directions and split

Crack Features and Shear-Wave Splitting Associated with Fracture Extension during Hydraulic Stimulation of the Geothermal Reservoir in Soultz-sous-Forêts

Oil & Gas Science and Technology, 2016
The recent tomography results obtained within the scope of the Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) European Soultz project led us to revisit the meso-fracturing properties of Soultz test site.

Upper‐Mantle Anisotropy and Dynamics Beneath Northeast Asia: Insight From SKS and Local S Splitting Analysis

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Tectonics in Northeast Asia are characterized as the deep subduction of the Pacific Plate and the induced volcanism in Northeast China. Seismic anisotropy due to deformations is essential for understanding the mantle dynamics.

Wave-equation shear wave splitting tomography [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 2008
The main focus of this paper is the development of a theoretical framework for the tomographic inversion of (broad-band) shear wave splitting measurements in terms of anisotropic structure in the upper mantle. We show that the partial differential equations (PDEs) that govern wave equation shearwave splitting tomography are, upon linearization with ...

Microstructure Reconstruction in Battery Electrodes Using Machine Learning Based on Low‐Voltage Focused Ion Beam–Scanning Electron Microscopy Tomography Images

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Low‐voltage FIB‐SEM tomography combined with a image preprocessing pipeline improves phase contrast and enables reliable machine‐learning segmentation of conductive networks in lithium‐ion battery electrodes. Structural descriptors are extracted from segmented images, done semimanually and automated, and compared.

Time Varying Crustal Anisotropy at Whakaari/White Island Volcano

Geophysical Research Letters
Whakaari/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.

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.
