Viscous shear in the asthenosphere accommodates relative motion between Earth's surface
plates and underlying mantle, generating lattice‐preferred orientation (LPO) in olivine …

Shear-wave splitting measurements above the mantle wedge of the Mariana and southern
Andean, subduction zones show trench-parallel seismically fast directions close to the …

In order to understand what anisotropy is, it is important to realize the fundamental difference
between anisotropy and heterogeneity, as well as their intimate relation. By definition, an …

SKS splitting at the Calabrian subduction zone, with delay times (δt) up to 3s, reveals the
presence of a strong anisotropic fabric. Fast directions (ϕ) are oriented NNE‐SSW in the …

Upper-mantle flow beneath the South Pacific is investigated by analysing shear wave
splitting parameters at eight permanent long-period and broad-band seismic stations and 10 …

We investigate the sensitivity of finite-frequency body-wave observables to mantle
anisotropy based upon kernels calculated by combining adjoint methods and spectral …

The concept of mantle plumes, originally suggested by Morgan (1971), is widely but not
unequivocally accepted as the cause for hotspot volcanism. Plumes are thought of as deep …

We present a series of 2-D numerical models of viscous flow in the mantle wedge induced
by a subducting lithospheric plate. We use a kinematically defined slab geometry …

We modeled fundamental mode Love and Rayleigh waves to study the seismic properties of
the upper mantle beneath the Reykjanes Ridge. These waves were generated by regional …

Dynamic mantle flow and temperature models for the North Atlantic based on a regionalized
P‐wave and a global S‐wave tomography model were derived under the constraint of a …
