We present 59 new SKS/SKKS and combine them with 69 previously published data to infer
the mantle deformation field in SE Tibet. The dense set of anisotropy measurements in the …

Relating seismic anisotropy to mantle flow requires detailed understanding of the
development and evolution of olivine crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO). Recent …

We develop a 3-D thermal model for the Northeast Japan subduction margin, using a
realistic slab geometry for the subducting Pacific plate, and investigate the effects of oblique …

We imaged the azimuthal anisotropy of Rayleigh wave phase velocity (10–60 s) in northeast
North China Craton using the teleseismic data recorded by a dense temporary array, and …

The geological record of the Borborema Province, northeast Brazil, documents tectonic
events that characterised the Precambrian formation and Mesozoic breakup of Gondwana …

Measurements of seismic anisotropy in continental regions are frequently interpreted with
respect to past tectonic processes, preserved in the lithosphere as “fossil” fabrics. Models of …

A second-order Born approximation is used to formulate a self-consistent theory for the
effective elastic parameters of stochastic media with ellipsoidal distributions of small-scale …

This chapter presents a series of two‐dimensional models of subduction are presented to
investigate parameters controlling slab‐induced mantle weakening and increased mantle …

The origin of shear wave splitting (SWS) in the mantle beneath Iceland is examined using
numerical models that simulate 3-D mantle flow and the development of seismic anisotropy …

Progressive deformation of upper mantle rocks via dislocation creep causes their constituent
crystals to take on a non-random orientation distribution (crystallographic preferred …
