A review of the current understanding of seismic shear-wave splitting in the Earth's crust and common fallacies in interpretation

S Crampin, S Peacock - Wave Motion, 2008 - Elsevier
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 …

A review of techniques for measuring shear-wave splitting above small earthquakes

S Crampin, Y Gao - Physics of the earth and planetary interiors, 2006 - Elsevier
Seismic shear-wave splitting is difficult to measure accurately because of the complexity of
the shear-wave signal. A variety of techniques have been developed for measuring time …

Temporal changes of shallow seismic velocity around the Karadere-Düzce branch of the north Anatolian fault and strong ground motion

Z Peng, Y Ben-Zion - Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2006 - Springer
We analyze temporal variations of seismic velocity along the Karadere-Düzce branch of the
north Anatolian fault using seismograms generated by repeating earthquake clusters in the …

Seismic anisotropy in Eastern Tibet from shear wave splitting reveals changes in lithospheric deformation

E Lev, MD Long, RD van der Hilst - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2006 - Elsevier
Knowledge about seismic anisotropy can provide important insight into the deformation of
the crust and upper mantle beneath tectonically active regions. Here we focus on the …

Map** stress and structurally controlled crustal shear velocity anisotropy in California

NL Boness, MD Zoback - Geology, 2006 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
We present shear velocity anisotropy data from crustal earthquakes in California and
demonstrate that it is often possible to discriminate structural anisotropy (polarization of the …

currently the largest regional seismograph network in China to investigate the …

Seismic velocity structures in the southern California plate-boundary environment from double-difference tomography

AA Allam, Y Ben-Zion - Geophysical Journal International, 2012 - academic.oup.com
We present tomographic images of crustal structures in the southern California plate-
boundary area, with a focus on the San Jacinto fault zone (SJFZ), based on double …

Geological observations of damage asymmetry in the structure of the San Jacinto, San Andreas and Punchbowl faults in Southern California: A possible indicator for …

O Dor, TK Rockwell, Y Ben-Zion - Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2006 - Springer
We present new in situ observations of systematic asymmetry in the pattern of damage
expressed by fault zone rocks along sections of the San Andreas, San Jacinto, and …

Seismic tomography of the Southern California plate boundary region from noise-based Rayleigh and Love waves

D Zigone, Y Ben-Zion, M Campillo, P Roux - Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2015 - Springer
We use cross-correlations of ambient seismic noise between pairs of 158 broadband and
short-period sensors to investigate velocity structure over the top 5–10 km of the crust in the …

Automatic measurement of shear wave splitting and applications to time varying anisotropy at Mount Ruapehu volcano, New Zealand

MK Savage, A Wessel, NA Teanby… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
We present an automatic shear wave splitting measurement tool for local earthquakes, with
the sole manual step of choosing an S arrival time. We apply the technique to three data sets …
