Comment on “SKS splitting beneath continental rifts zones” by Gao et al. [PDF]
, 1999 International audienceAs previously suggested by many authors, shear wave splitting rneasurernents certainly provide the best insights on the tectonic structure (or fabric) of the upper mantle.

Wave speeds and Green’s tensors for shear wave propagation in incompressible, hyperelastic materials with uniaxial stretch [PDF]
, 2019 Assessing elastic material properties from shear wave propagation following an acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) excitation is difficult in anisotropic materials because of the complex relations among the propagation direction, shear wave ...

Finite-frequency sensitivity of body waves to anisotropy based upon adjoint methods [PDF]
, 2007 We investigate the sensitivity of finite-frequency body-wave observables to mantle anisotropy based upon kernels calculated by combining adjoint methods and spectral-element modelling of seismic wave propagation.

Mid-mantle deformation inferred from seismic anisotropy [PDF]
, 2002 With time, convective processes in the Earth's mantle will tend to align crystals, grains and inclusions. This mantle fabric is detectable seismologically, as it produces an anisotropy in material properties—in particular, a directional dependence in ...

Shear-wave splitting in the mantle of the pacific [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1994 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)

Apparent Splitting of S Waves Propagating Through an Isotropic Lowermost Mantle [PDF]
, 2018 Observations of shear wave anisotropy are key for understanding the mineralogical structure and flow in the mantle. Several researchers have reported the presence of seismic anisotropy in the lowermost 150–250 km of the mantle (i.e., D urn:x-wiley:jgrb ...

Seismic anisotropy beneath the Chinese Mainland: Constraints from shear wave splitting analyses
Earthquake Research Advances, 2021 We use earthquakes recorded by the China National Seismic Network from 2015 to 2019 and measure shear wave splitting parameters of SKS to study the anisotropic characteristics beneath the mainland of China.

Deriving micro- to macro-scale seismic velocities from ice-core c axis orientations [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 One of the great challenges in glaciology is the ability to estimate the bulk ice anisotropy in ice sheets and glaciers, which is needed to improve our understanding of ice-sheet dynamics.
