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 …

This study provides a comprehensive review of the crystal preferred orientation (CPO) of
olivine and orthopyroxene in the upper mantle, and of several hydrous minerals in the …

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 …

Measurements of the splitting or birefringence of seismic shear waves that have passed
through the Earth's mantle yield constraints on the strength and geometry of elastic …

The influence of water and stress on the lattice-preferred orientation (LPO) of olivine
aggregates was investigated through large strain, shear deformation experiments at high …

The recent dramatic increase in seismic anisotropy and surface global positioning system
(GPS) data for central Asia permits a comprehensive examination of the mantle's role in …

The direction of tectonic plate motion at the Earth's surface and the flow field of the mantle
inferred from seismic anisotropy are well correlated globally, suggesting large-scale …

We present a new three‐dimensional Sv wave speed and azimuthal anisotropy model for
the upper mantle of eastern Asia constrained by the analysis of more than 17,000 vertical …
