Shear-wave splitting in compliant rocks
The Leading Edge, 2010 Shear-wave splitting is a phenomenon that has received a lot of attention primarily because of its connection with vertically aligned cracks or fractures within reservoirs. However, in most cases the largest amount of shear-wave splitting is observed to occur in the near-surface layers where the rocks are the least consolidated, and so are least likely

Splitting parameter yield (SPY): A program for semiautomatic analysis of shear-wave splitting
Computers & Geosciences, 2012 SPY is a Matlab algorithm that analyzes seismic waveforms in a semiautomatic way, providing estimates of the two observables of the anisotropy: the shear-wave splitting parameters. We chose to exploit those computational processes that require less intervention by the user, gaining objectivity and reliability as a result.

Shear-wave splitting measurements — Problems and solutions
Tectonophysics, 2008Abstract We compare sensitivity and reliability of three basic techniques of shear-wave splitting analysis – cross-correlation of wave components, minimization of covariance matrix eigenvalues and minimizing energy on the transverse component – of both synthetic and real data, point out some problems and propose solutions.

Thin layers and shear-wave splitting
Geophysics, 1991Abstract The near-surface weathering layer is considered by many to be strongly anisotropic. Any shear-wave signal passing through this low-velocity layer will inherit, to some degree, the anisotropic response of this layer. For thin weathering layers, information about previous anisotropic events may be distorted; when the thickness ...

Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2006 The complexity of shear wave-arrivals above small earthquakes makes the polarisations and time-delays of shear-wave splitting above small earthquakes difficult to measure.

A New Understanding of Shear-Wave Splitting
Proceedings, 1995Shear-wave splitting (shear-wave- bi-refringence) diagnostic of some form of azimuthal anisotropy is widely observed in all types of rock in the uppermost 15km of the Earth's crust (Crampin and Lovell 1991).

Shear Wave Splitting in Himalaya
Chinese Journal of Geophysics, 2007AbstractWe analyze the records of 56 stations in Himalaya area with the method of minimizing the eigenvalue. Splitting was observed at thirty‐nine stations of them. The average splitting time is about 0.8s. The parameters of splitting vary not only from south to north, but are also different on the two sides of the line joining the station GAIG and ...

Bootstrapping shear-wave splitting errors
Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1994Abstract We have developed a bootstrap method to estimate errors associated with inverting SKS waveforms for shear-wave splitting parameters. Although presented for shear-wave splitting inversions, this method is suitable for any waveform inversion procedure.

Shear-wave splitting near Guam
Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 1992Abstract Polarities of shear waves from intermediate-focus events underneath Guam are studied. For records from a group of ten events, shear-wave splitting with faster-arriving E-W components are observed. This event group occurred within, or above, one geographic portion of the Wadati-Benioff zone, with depths ranging between 57 and 148 km.

Amplitude effects associated with shear‐wave splitting
SEG Technical Program Expanded Abstracts 2009, 2009Shear-wave anisotropy results in a time delay between two different shear-wave polarizations S1 and S2. If there are associated differences in attenuation of the amplitudes, then simple time shifting is insufficient to match the S1 and S2 images. This ―differential‖ attenuation leads to both an additional time delay and a frequency dependent amplitude ...
