Progress in seismic methodology and ambitious large‐scale seismic projects are enabling
high‐resolution imaging of the continental crust. The ability to constrain interpretations of …

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 …

The crystal preferred orientation (CPO) of amphibole has a large effect on seismic
anisotropy in the crust. Previous studies have reported four CPO types (I–IV) of amphibole …

Crystal preferred orientations and seismic anisotropy of amphibole play a crucial role in
fingerprinting the rheological and physical properties of the deep crust. This study presents …

The eastern Alpine crust has been shaped by the continental collision of the European and
Adriatic plates beginning at 35 Ma and was affected by a major reorganization after 20 Ma …

Recent geophysical campaigns in the Alps produce images with seismic property variations
along the slab of sufficiently fine resolution to be interpreted as rock transformations. Since …

Beneath the ice of East Antarctica lies a continent that is likely to be as geologically complex
as its neighbors in Gondwana. An improved model of the heterogeneous lithosphere is …

Deciphering the sub-ice geology in the Wilkes Subglacial Basin region is important for
understanding solid earth-ice sheet evolution and for assessing geological ties between …

As seismic data from the lower crust becomes more readily available, it is important to link
seismic properties to the ongoing processes within lower crustal evolution. This includes …

Shear zone kinematics are interpreted from sections (XZ) parallel to the stretching lineation
(X-direction) and perpendicular to the mylonitic foliation (X–Y). The stretching lineation is a …
