Global seismographic networks (GSNs) emerged during the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, facilitated by seminal international developments in theory, technology …

Seismic observations provide strong evidence that Earth's inner core is anisotropic, with
larger velocity in the polar than in the equatorial direction. The top 60–80 km of the inner …

We have developed model S40RTS of shear-velocity variation in Earth's mantle using a new
collection of Rayleigh wave phase velocity, teleseismic body-wave traveltime and normal …

This third edition provides a concise yet approachable introduction to seismic theory,
designed as a first course for graduate students or advanced undergraduate students. It …

The fourth edition of Physics of the Earth maintains the original philosophy of this classic
graduate textbook on fundamental solid earth geophysics, while being completely revised …

Structural geologists are well aware of the fact that isotropic rocks are quite exceptional in
nature. Whicheverorigin, sedimentary, metamorphicormagmatic, rocks are shaped with a …

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 …

The travel times of seismic waves that traverse the Earth's inner core show a small but
systematic variation over the past three decades. This variation is best explained by a …

In this section the contribution of CPO to seismic anisotropy in the deep Earth with cases of
olivine and the role of melt is illustrated. The CPO in rocks of upper-mantle origin is now well …

We use normal-mode splitting functions in addition to surface wave phase anomalies, body
wave traveltimes and long-period waveforms to construct a 3-D model of anisotropic shear …
