There is increasing evidence for mid mantle seismic anisotropy around subduction zones
whose interpretation remains elusive. In this study I estimate the strain-induced mid mantle …

The origin of the complex pattern of SKS splitting over the western United States (US)
remains a long-lasting debate, where a model that simultaneously matches the various SKS …

Abstract The actively spreading Chile Ridge has been subducting beneath Patagonian
Chile since the Middle Miocene. After subduction, continued separation of the faster Nazca …

Despite the well-established anisotropic nature of Earth's upper mantle, the influence of
elastic anisotropy on teleseismic P-wave imaging remains largely ignored. Unmodelled …

Conventional seismic tomography studies consider the Earth's interior as mechanically
isotropic, despite seismic anisotropy being widely observed. This current standard approach …

Seismic anisotropy is a key parameter in understanding subduction zone dynamics in
relation to the recent deformation history. It is usually controlled by the mantle flow patterns …

Despite the widely known fact that mantle flow in and around subduction zones produces
the development of considerable seismic anisotropy, most P‐wave tomography efforts still …

Surface measurements of shear wave splitting patterns are widely used to infer the mantle
circulation around subducting slabs; however, the relation between mantle flow and seismic …

Efforts to couple mantle flow models with rheological theories of mineral deformation
typically ignore the effect of texture development on flow evolution. The fact that there are …

The collision between India and Eurasia forming the Tibetan Plateau since the early
Cenozoic had led to the crustal and upper‐mantle (asthenospheric) extrusion from the …
