Much progress has been made over the past several decades in delineating the structure of
subducting slabs, but several key aspects of their dynamics remain poorly constrained …

We present a new tomographic model of azimuthal anisotropy in the upper mantle, DR2012,
and discuss in details the geodynamical causes of this anisotropy. Our model improves …

Inferring the circulation of the mantle around subducting plates from surface measurements
of shear wave splitting patterns remains to date elusive. To assist the interpretation of the …

The mantle wedge above subducting slabs is associated with many important processes,
including the transport of melt and volatiles. Our understanding of mantle wedge dynamics is …

If upper mantle anisotropy beneath fast-moving oceanic plates is expected to align the fast
azimuths close to the plate motion directions, the upper mantle flow pattern beneath slow …

The textbook view is that the asthenosphere is the place beneath the tectonic plates where
competing temperature and pressure effects on mantle rheology result in the lowest viscosity …

A recent expansion in global seismic anisotropy data provides important new insights about
the style of mantle convection. Interpretations of these geophysical measurements rely on …

The Okinawa trough in the Ryukyu subduction system is one of a few actively extending
back arc basins within the continental lithosphere. Recent shear‐wave splitting …

A total of 93 well-defined PKS, 54 SKKS, and 126 SKS shear-wave splitting parameters are
determined at 25 broadband seismic stations in an approximately 1000 by 1000 km2 area …

Проведено исследование распределения параметров расщепленных S-волн от
глубокофокусных землетрясений в области Сахалина и Хоккайдо с оценкой …
