The development of seismic anisotropy below south-central Alaska: evidence from local earthquake shear wave splitting

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 2020
The Transportable Array in south-central Alaska spans several subduction zone features: backarc, forearc and volcanic arc, making it an ideal tool to study subduction zone anisotropy.

Mantle Flow Pattern Associated With the Patagonian Slab Window Determined From Azimuthal Anisotropy

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
Geological processes in Southern Patagonia are affected by the Patagonian slab window, formed by the subduction of the Chile Ridge and subsequent northward migration of the Chile Triple Junction.

The Turkish Dilatancy Project (TDP3): multidisciplinary studies of a potential earthquake source region [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
The section of the North Anatolian Fault lying near the city of Izmit, at the east of the Marmara Sea, has been identified as a seismic gap and the possible site of a future major earthquake.

Seismic Anisotropy and Mantle Flow in the Sumatra Subduction Zone Constrained by Shear Wave Splitting and Receiver Function Analyses

open access: yesGeochemistry Geophysics Geosystems, 2020
To systematically investigate seismic azimuthal anisotropy in the Sumatra subduction zone and probe mantle dynamics associated with the subduction of the Australian Plate beneath the Sunda Plate, a total of 169 pairs of teleseismic XKS (including PKS ...

Sub-slab mantle anisotropy beneath south-central Chile [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Knowledge of mantle flow in convergent margins is crucial to unravelling both the contemporary geodynamics and the past evolution of subduction zones. By analysing shear-wave splitting in both teleseismic and local arrivals, we can determine the relative

Seismic Anisotropy Analysis Beneath Sumatra Revealed by Shear-Wave Splitting

open access: yesIndonesian Journal on Geoscience, 2017
DOI: 10.17014/ijog.4.3.169-179A shear-wave splitting analysis was determined to observe anisotropic structures of an upper mantle layer beneath Sumatra.

Finite-Frequency SKS Splitting: Measurement and Sensitivity Kernels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Splitting of SKS waves caused by anisotropy may be analyzed by measuring the splitting intensity, i.e., the amplitude of the transverse signal relative to the radial signal in the SKS time window. This quantity is simply related to structural parameters.

Upper crust anisotropy of the 2020 Jiashi MS 6.4 earthquake

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The 2020 Jiashi MS 6.4 earthquake occurred north of the 1997–1998 Jiashi earthquake swarm. Because of its complex tectonic environment and frequent strong earthquake occurrence, scholars have paid extensive attention to this area.

Non-radial Oscillations in Rotating Giant Planets with Solid Cores: Application to Saturn and its Rings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Recent observations have revealed evidence for the global oscillations of Jupiter and Saturn, which can potentially provide a new window into the interior structure of giant planets.

Complex anisotropy beneath the Peruvian flat slab from frequency-dependent, multiple-phase shear wave splitting analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Flat or shallow subduction is a relatively widespread global occurrence, but the dynamics remain poorly understood. In particular, the interaction between flat slabs and the surrounding mantle flow has yet to be studied in detail.
