We present a review of the recent development in finite-difference time-domain modeling of
seismic wave propagation and earthquake motion. The finite-difference method is a robust …

Shear-wave splitting due to stress-aligned anisotropy is widely observed in the Earth's crust
and upper mantle. The anisotropy is the result of stress-aligned fluid-saturated grain …

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 …

Understanding the geotectonic evolution of the southeastern Tibetan plateau requires
knowledge about the structure of the lithosphere. Using data from 77 broadband stations in …

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 …

We present a graphical user interface to facilitate the processing of teleseismic shear-wave
splitting observations. In contrast to a fully automated technique, we present a manual, per …

Phase velocities across eastern Tibet and surrounding regions are mapped using Rayleigh
(8–65 s) and Love (8–44 s) wave ambient noise tomography based on data from more than …

Azimuthal anisotropy retrieved from surface waves is important for constraining depth‐
varying deformation patterns in the crust and upper mantle. We present a direct inversion …

Azimuthally-aligned shear-wave splitting is widely observed in the Earth's crust. The splitting
is diagnostic of some form of seismic anisotropy, although the cause of this anisotropy has …

We developed an integrated technique for estimating crustal anisotropy with a horizontal
axis using radial (R) and transverse (T) receiver functions. The technique includes …
