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 …

Subducting plates around the globe display a large variability in terms of slab geometry,
including regions where smooth and little variation in subduction parameters is observed …

Seismic anisotropy has been widely observed in crust and mantle materials and plays a key
role in the understanding of structure and flow patterns. Although seismic anisotropy can be …

We determined high-resolution P-wave tomography for 3-D radial and azimuthal anisotropy
of the Tohoku and Kyushu subduction zones using a large number of high-quality arrival …

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 …

Isotropic and anisotropic seismic structures across the Northern Apennines (Italy)
subduction zone are imaged using a new method for the analysis of teleseismic receiver …

Seismic anisotropy in the oceanic lithosphere results from flow-induced crystallographic
preferred orientation of dry olivine during lithosphere creation. Recent experiments …

Trench-parallel seismic anisotropy has been observed in many subduction zones in the
upper mantle. In this study, the crystal-preferred orientation (CPO) and seismic anisotropy of …

Lattice preferred orientation (LPO) and seismic anisotropy of orthopyroxene (enstatite) in
mantle xenoliths from Spitsbergen, Svalbard, near the Arctic, are studied. LPOs of enstatite …
