Seismic anisotropy beneath eastern North America, as expressed in shear wave splitting
observations, has been attributed to plate motion‐parallel shear in the asthenosphere …

We estimate depth‐dependent azimuthal anisotropy and shear wave velocity structure
beneath the Alaska subduction zone by the inversion of a new Rayleigh wave dispersion …

The dependence of seismic wave speeds on propagation or polarization direction, called
seismic anisotropy, is a relatively direct indicator of mantle deformation and flow. Mantle …

Many regions of the Earth's mantle are seismically anisotropic, including portions of the
lowermost mantle, which may indicate deformation due to convective flow. The splitting of …

Plate tectonics is a vital factor to the uniqueness and habitability of the Earth. Fundamental
plate tectonic processes including subduction, terrane accretion, and continental rifting not …
