Sensitivity of shear wave splitting to fracture connectivity [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 2023 SUMMARY Shear wave splitting (SWS) is currently considered to be the most robust seismic attribute to characterize fractures in geological formations. Despite its importance, the influence of fluid pressure communication between connected fractures on SWS remains largely unexplored.

Mantle dynamics in the SE Tibetan Plateau revealed by teleseismic shear-wave splitting analysis
Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2021 The tectonic evolution of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau is key to understanding the mechanism of growth of the whole Tibetan Plateau. Its imprint on lithospheric and asthenospheric mantle rock fabrics is expected to have a strong signature on seismic ...

Anisotropic structure of the Australian continent
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 The Australian continent preserves some of the oldest lithosphere on Earth in the Yilgarn, Pilbara, and Gawler Cratons. In this study we present shear wave splitting and Ps receiver function results at long running stations across the continent.

Seismic anisotropy of the upper mantle beneath Thailand: Tectonic setting constrained by shear-wave splitting analysis [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2020 The tectonic setting of the lithosphere and upper mantle underneath Thailand varies and changes substantially over short distances. We have mapped these variations using shear wave splitting (SWS) analysis.

Shear‐wave splitting beneath the Galápagos archipelago [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2005 Shear‐wave splitting measurements in the Galápagos archipelago show a rapid change from consistently oriented anisotropy to no measurable anisotropy. At the western edge of the archipelago delay times are 0.4–0.9 s and fast polarization directions are 81–109°E. These directions are consistent with anisotropy resulting from shear of the asthenosphere by

Communications Earth & Environment, 2021 Daily variations in seismic S-wave anisotropy reveal the dynamic response of englacial fractures to changing meltwater supply, according to shear wave splitting measurements from a seismometer network on the Rhonegletscher, Switzerland.

Automated shear-wave splitting analysis for single- and multi- layer anisotropic media
Seismica, 2023 Shear-wave velocity anisotropy is present throughout the earth. The strength and orientation of anisotropy can be observed by shear-wave splitting (birefringence) accumulated between earthquake sources and receivers. Seismic deployments are getting ever

Full‐wave effects on shear wave splitting [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2014 AbstractSeismic anisotropy in the mantle plays an important role in our understanding of the Earth's internal dynamics, and shear wave splitting has always been a key observable in the investigation of seismic anisotropy. To date the interpretation of shear wave splitting in terms of anisotropy has been largely based on ray‐theoretical modeling of a ...

Shear‐wave splitting observations across southwest Ireland [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2006 Shear‐wave splitting analyses have been carried out on teleseismic data from the southwest of Ireland acquired during the Irish Seismological Lithospheric Experiment (ISLE). The data were gathered over a ten‐month period by a temporary network of 23 broadband and short‐period stations.

Teleseismic shear wave splitting measurements in noisyenvironments [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1999 SUMMARY High noise levels hamper teleseismic shear wave splitting measurements, which bandpass filtering does not always help. To investigate how robust splitting measurements are to noise, we analysed a set of synthetic records with known splitting parameters and added fixed levels of noise.
