Mantle flow triggered by subduction has a crucial role in the evolution of surface tectonics
and volcanism. In this Review, we explore how patterns of mantle flow, particularly those in …

An elastic map T associates stress with strain in some material. A symmetry of T is a rotation
of the material that leaves T unchanged, and the symmetry group of T consists of all such …

We formulate a numerical framework, in both 2d and 3d, to model the structural patterns
emerging from cree** viscous flow typically encountered in long‐term ductile lithospheric …

Crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) of peridotite minerals is frequently invoked to
explain the widespread dependence of seismic wave speed on propagation direction in …

The crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) of polycrystalline olivine affects both the
viscous and seismic anisotropy of Earth's upper mantle with wide geodynamical …

Mechanical anisotropy related to rock fabrics is a proxy for constraining the Earth's
deformation patterns. However, the forward and inverse modelling of mechanical anisotropy …

The analysis of the splitting signature of XKS phases is crucial for constraining seismic
anisotropy patterns, especially in complex subduction settings such as outward-dip** …

Although many collisional orogens form after subduction of oceanic lithosphere between two
continents, some orogens result from strain localization within a continent via inversion of …

Seismic anisotropy, characterized by wave propagation that varies with direction, is likely to
be observed in the lowermost few hundred kilometers of the mantle, especially at the …

Olivine lattice preferred orientation (LPO), or texture, forms in relation to deformation
mechanisms such as dislocation creep and can be observed in the upper mantle as seismic …
