A robust knowledge of seismic anisotropy beneath the continents is essential to our
understanding of plate tectonic theory, as anisotropy provides a unique constraint on the …

It is difficult to find more than a passing reference to seismic anisotropy, variously described
as aeolotropy and transverse isotropy, in standard seismological texts. It is clear that …

During the last 30 years, considerable evidence of seismic anisotropy has accumulated
demonstrating that it is present at all scales, but not in all depth ranges. We detail which …

Azimuthal seismic anisotropy, the dependence of seismic wave speeds on propagation
azimuth, is largely due to fabrics within the Earth's crust and mantle, produced by …

This chapter discusses seismic anisotropy in the mantle, highlighting mechanisms,
observations and interpretations. Although evidence of anisotropy in the Earth is now …

▪ Abstract Seismic anisotropy beneath continents is analyzed from shear-wave splitting
recorded at more than 300 continental seismic stations. Anisotropy is found to be a …

While velocity contrasts are responsible for most of the events recorded in our data, the long
wavelength behavior of the velocity model is responsible for the geometrical shape of these …

Systematic spatial variations of anisotropic characteristics are revealed beneath the eastern
US using seismic data recorded between 1988 and 2016 by 785 stations. The resulting fast …

Seismic anisotropy plays a key role in studies of the Earth's rheology and deformation
because of its relation to flow-induced lattice-preferred orientation (LPO) of intrinsically …

We investigate the two‐dimensional (2‐D) nature of the coherence between Bouguer gravity
anomalies and topography on the Australian continent. The coherence function or isostatic …
