Deformation of crust and upper mantle in central Tibet caused by the northward subduction and slab tearing of the Indian lithosphere: New evidence based on shear wave splitting measurements

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2019
Shear-wave splitting provides insight into geodynamic processes such as lithospheric deformation and upper mantle flow. This study presents shear wave splitting parameters determined from XKS (SKS, SKKS and PKS) and Pms phases (from receiver functions ...

Shear wave splitting and subcontinental mantle deformation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1991
We have made measurements of shear wave splitting in the phases SKS and SKKS at 21 broadband stations in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Measurements are made using a retrieval scheme that yields the azimuth of the fast polarization direction ϕ and delay time δt of the split shear wave plus uncertainties.

Shear-wave splitting measurements — Problems and solutions

Tectonophysics, 2008
Abstract 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.

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

Uppermantle shear-wave splitting measurements in Mainland China: A review

, 2021
Seismic anisotropy, as a ubiquitous feature in the Earth’s interior, could record the past lithospheric deformation and map directly mantle flow within our planet, and thus becomes a bridge to understand the interaction between the crust and subcrustal ...
