Identifying global seismic anisotropy patterns by correlating shear-wave splitting and surface-wave data
We compare a global compilation of shear-wave splitting measurements with azimuthal
seismic anisotropy parameters inferred from surface-wave tomography. The currently …

Mantle flow geometry from ridge to trench beneath the Gorda–Juan de Fuca plate system
Tectonic plates are underlain by a low-viscosity mantle layer, the asthenosphere.
Asthenospheric flow may be induced by the overriding plate or by deeper mantle …
