Mantle dynamics and seismic anisotropy

MD Long, TW Becker - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2010 - Elsevier
Observations of seismic anisotropy yield some of the most direct constraints available on
both past and present-day deformation in the Earth's mantle. Insight into the character of …

Reconciling surface plate motions with rapid three-dimensional mantle flow around a slab edge

MA Jadamec, MI Billen - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
The direction of tectonic plate motion at the Earth's surface and the flow field of the mantle
inferred from seismic anisotropy are well correlated globally, suggesting large-scale …

Joint seismic–geodynamic-mineral physical modelling of African geodynamics: A reconciliation of deep-mantle convection with surface geophysical constraints

AM Forte, S Quéré, R Moucha, NA Simmons… - Earth and Planetary …, 2010 - Elsevier
Recent progress in seismic tomography provides the first complete 3-D images of the
combined thermal and chemical anomalies that characterise the unique deep-mantle …

Constraints on lithosphere net rotation and asthenospheric viscosity from global mantle flow models and seismic anisotropy

CP Conrad, MD Behn - Geochemistry, Geophysics …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Although an average westward rotation of the Earth's lithosphere is indicated by global
analyses of surface features tied to the deep mantle (eg, hot spot tracks), the rate of …

Frequency-dependent shear wave splitting and heterogeneous anisotropic structure beneath the Gulf of California region

MD Long - Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors, 2010 - Elsevier
The Gulf of California region has undergone a major evolution over the past∼ 15Ma, since
subduction of the now-extinct Farallon plate ceased and transform motion began, leading to …
