Shear‐wave splitting observations across southwest Ireland [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical 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.

Seismic anisotropy and shear-wave splitting in lower-crustal and upper-mantle rocks from the Ivrea Zone : experimental and calculated data [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
International audienceTo quantify the relationships between anisotropy. S-wave splitting and tectonics, we determined the seismic properties of lower-crustal and upper-mantle rocks outcropping in the lvrea Zone (Northem Italy).

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.

The development of magmatism along the Cameroon Volcanic Line: evidence from seismicity and seismic anisotropy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) straddles the continent-ocean boundary in West Africa but exhibits no clear age progression. This renders it difficult to explain by traditional plume/plate motion hypotheses; thus, there remains no consensus on the ...

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.

Poloidal‐ and Toroidal‐Mode Mantle Flows Underneath the Cascadia Subduction Zone

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2020
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain intriguing circular shear wave splitting patterns in the Pacific Northwest, invoking either 2‐D entrained flows or 3‐D return flows. Here, we present some hitherto unidentified, depth‐dependent anisotropic

Shear wave splitting of the 2018 Lombok earthquake aftershock area, Indonesia

open access: yesGeoscience Letters, 2023
Lombok is one of the islands in the transitional zone from the Sunda Arc to the Banda Arc, Indonesia. In the mid-2018, the island of Lombok was shaken by a series of strong earthquakes, started with a moment magnitude (Mw) 6.4 earthquake on July 29, 2018

Crack Features and Shear-Wave Splitting Associated with Fracture Extension during Hydraulic Stimulation of the Geothermal Reservoir in Soultz-sous-Forêts

open access: yesOil & Gas Science and Technology, 2016
The recent tomography results obtained within the scope of the Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) European Soultz project led us to revisit the meso-fracturing properties of Soultz test site.

Upper‐Mantle Anisotropy and Dynamics Beneath Northeast Asia: Insight From SKS and Local S Splitting Analysis

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2020
Tectonics in Northeast Asia are characterized as the deep subduction of the Pacific Plate and the induced volcanism in Northeast China. Seismic anisotropy due to deformations is essential for understanding the mantle dynamics.

The Hudson Bay Lithospheric Experiment (HuBLE) : Insights into Precambrian Plate Tectonics and the Development of Mantle Keels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The UK component of HuBLE was supported by Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) grant NE/F007337/1, with financial and logistical support from the Geological Survey of Canada, Canada–Nunavut Geoscience Office, SEIS-UK (the seismic node of NERC ...
