The Indo-Burma subduction zone lies on the eastern boundary of the 1500 km long Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt. Despite highly oblique plate motion with limited arc development, convergence is still ongoing with the potential to generate megathrust earthquakes that could affect more than 140 million people. This sub-aerial subduction system provides an

Density structure of Earth’s lowermost mantle from Stoneley mode splitting observations
Large-low-shear-wave velocity provinces (LLSVPs) are present at the core–mantle boundary. Here, the authors show that splitting of Stoneley modes is probably due to a lower density of LLSVPs than the surrounding mantle because of the presence of post ...

In his commentary on the International Commission on Earthquake Forecasting (ICEF) report [Jordan et al. 2011], Crampin [2012] claims that observable changes in shear-wave splitting can predict large earthquakes on short time scales with high reliability

Shear wave splitting as a proxy for stress forecast of the case of the 2006 Manyas-Kus Golu (Mb = 5.3) earthquake [PDF]
The 2006 Mb = 5.3 Manyas-Kus Golu (Manyas) earthquake has been retrospectively "stress-forecasted" using variations in time-delays of seismic shear wave splitting to evaluate the time and magnitude at which stress-modified microcracking reaches fracture ...

Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses

Upper Mantle Anisotropy and Flow Beneath the Pacific Ocean Revealed by Differential PS‐SKS Splitting
Upper mantle anisotropy has been mapped beneath continents at high spatial resolution. Beneath the oceans, however, shear wave splitting constraints on upper mantle anisotropy are sparse, due to the paucity of seismic receivers. A technique that does not

Shear‐wave splitting in the Rio Grande Rift
Fast directions and lag times associated with SKS shear‐wave splitting are determined for six digital stations in the Rio Grande Rift (RGR). The mean fast direction for three stations in the central RGR is about 45° oblique to the axis of the RGR. In contrast, fast directions approximately parallel to the axis of the RGR are found for two stations in ...

Ultrafast Optoacoustics Reveals Intricate 3D Anisotropic Elasticity in Nanocrystalline Membranes
Ultrafast optoacoustic spectroscopy combined with a Sagnac interferometer enables non‐contact, simultaneous characterization of thickness and the full three‐dimensional anisotropic elastic constants in freestanding nanocrystalline copper membranes. By capturing gigahertz Lamb waves and zero‐group‐velocity resonances followed by SAFE‐GA inversion, the ...

Evaluation of liver stiffness measurement–based scores in liver transplantation recipients
Abstract Combining bioclinical parameters with liver stiffness measurement (LSM) has improved the diagnostic performance of vibration‐controlled transient elastography (VCTE) for detection of advanced fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease. However, this approach has not yet been tested in liver transplantation (LT) recipients.
