Global seismographic networks (GSNs) emerged during the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, facilitated by seminal international developments in theory, technology …

Shear wave splitting measurements now allow us to examine deformation in the lithosphere
and upper asthenosphere with lateral resolution< 50 km. In an anisotropic medium, one …

Seismic stratification of the upper mantle is investigated by applying two complementary
techniques to the records of the Graefenberg array in southern Germany. The anisotropic P …

We examine the effects on receiver functions of transverse anisotropy and of dip**
isotropic boundaries. Splitting of the Moho Ps phase predicts the anisotropy from a …

Teleseismic P waves are followed by a series of scattered waves, particularly P-to-S
converted phases, that form a coda. The sequence of scattered waves on the horizontal …

P-SH conversion is commonly observed in teleseismic P waves, and is often attributed to
dip** interfaces beneath the receiver. Our modelling suggests an alternative explanation …

Elastic anisotropy is present where the speed of a seismic wave depends on its direction. In
Earth's mantle, elastic anisotropy is induced by minerals that are preferentially oriented in a …

The Tibetan Plateau has the thickest continental crust on Earth, and fabrics within the crust
that are anisotropic to seismic waves may provide clues to how it reached such extreme …

Lithosphere that has undergone deformation may record this process in the form of fabric
such as foliation and lineation from ductile deformation, as well as non-horizontal interfaces …

Reflectivity synthetic seismograms demonstrate that the type, layering and orientation of 1-D
anisotropy influences strongly the coda of teleseismic P waves at periods T> 1 sec …
