We study systematically the relationship between olivine lattice preferred orientation and the
mantle flow field that produces it, using the plastic flow/recrystallization model of Kaminski …

A continental-scale, low seismic velocity anomaly in the mid to lower mantle beneath Africa
is a robust feature of global tomographic models. Assuming the low velocities are associated …

We study how numerically predicted seismic anisotropy in the upper mantle is affected by
several common assumptions about the rheology of the convecting mantle and deformation …

Seismic anisotropy has been found in many regions of the Earth's interior. Its presence in the
Earth's crust has been known since the 19th century, and is due in part to the alignment of …

We present global models of strain accumulation in mantle flow to compare the predicted
finite-strain ellipsoid (FSE) orientations with observed seismic anisotropy. The geographic …

Lithospheric seismic anisotropy illuminates mid‐ocean ridge dynamics and the thermal
evolution of oceanic plates. We utilize short‐period (5–7.5 s) ambient‐noise surface waves …

In this study, we utilize data from 64 broadband seismic stations of the Japanese F-net
network to investigate the three-dimensional pattern of anisotropy in the subduction system …

Models of development of lattice preferred orientation (LPO) of crystals aggregates in
convective flow are necessary to interpret the anisotropic seismic signature of the Earth′ s …

We present a new method for determining anisotropic earth models using observations of
split shear waves (such as SKS). The method consists of first constructing two time-series, x …

Seismic shear waves that are polarized horizontally (SH) generally travel faster in the upper
mantle than those that are polarized vertically (SV), and deformation of rocks under …
