Mantle Flow in the Vicinity of the Eastern Edge of the Pacific‐Yakutat Slab: Constraints From Shear Wave Splitting Analyses

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021
To investigate the effects of a slab edge and varying slab geometry on the mantle flow systems beneath south central Alaska, a total of 971 pairs of teleseismic shear wave (SKS, SKKS, and PKS) and 65 pairs of local S wave splitting parameters (fast ...

Shear-Wave Splitting in the Alpine Region

Geophysical Journal International, 2021
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.

Seismic Anisotropy and Mantle Flow Constrained by Shear Wave Splitting in Central Myanmar

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021
This study represents the first campaign‐style teleseismic shear wave splitting (SWS) investigation of central Myanmar, an area that is tectonically controlled by the oblique subduction of the Indian Plate underneath the Eurasian Plate. The resulting 678

Constraining Ice Shelf Anisotropy Using Shear Wave Splitting Measurements from Active‐Source Borehole Seismics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2020
Observations of ice shelf anisotropy on borehole seismic data are presented. Hot‐water‐drilledboreholes were made by the Aotearoa New Zealand Ross Ice Shelf Programme through a grounding‐line proximal site at Windless Bight and the central Ross Ice Shelf

Complex Lithospheric Deformation in Eastern and Northeastern Tibet From Shear Wave Splitting Observations and Its Geodynamic Implications

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2019
The eastern and northeastern Tibetan Plateau is a key region to study the growth and expansion of the plateau and associated extrusion tectonics. We studied the seismic anisotropic structure in this region by shear wave splitting analysis of teleseismic ...

Upper‐Crustal Anisotropy of the Conjugate Strike‐Slip Fault Zone in Central Tibet Analyzed Using Local Earthquakes and Shear‐Wave Splitting

Bulletin of The Seismological Society of America (BSSA), 2019
Remarkable V‐shaped conjugate strike‐slip faults extend along the Bangong–Nujiang suture in central Tibet. Motions of these faults are considered to accommodate ongoing east–west extension and north–south contraction. Fabrics within the fault zone that

A Database of Shear‐Wave Splitting Measurements for the Arabian Plate

Seismological Research Letters, 2018
We present a uniform database of teleseismic shear-wave splitting (SWS) parameters for the Arabian plate. The SWS parameters, including the fast polarization orientation and splitting time, are measured based on a procedure that minimizes the energy on ...
