Structural geologists are well aware of the fact that isotropic rocks are quite exceptional in
nature. Whicheverorigin, sedimentary, metamorphicormagmatic, rocks are shaped with a …

We describe a method to invert surface wave dispersion data for a model of shear velocities
with uncertainties in the crust and uppermost mantle. The inversion is a multistep process …

The understanding of mantle convection is one of the most puzzling problems of modern
geophysics. Among the different approaches used by geophysicists to investigate mantle …

How cratons—extremely stable continental areas of the Earth's crust—formed and remained
largely unchanged for more than 2,500 million years is much debated. Recent studies of …

The title" Geophysical constraints on mantle flow and melt generation beneath mid-ocean
ridges" can be interpreted in two ways: either as observational constraints on models, or as …

A data set of 2600 paths for Rayleigh waves and 2170 paths for Love waves enabled us to
retrieve three‐dimensional distributions of different seismic parameters. Shallow layer …

Convective flow in the mantle and the motions of tectonic plates produce deformation of
Earth's interior, and the rock fabric produced by this deformation can be discerned using the …

Elasticity is described in general by a fourth-order tensor with 21 independent coefficients,
which corresponds to the triclinic symmetry class. However seismological observations are …

Accurately inferring the radially anisotropic structure of the mantle using seismic waveforms
requires correcting for the effects of crustal structure on waveforms. Recent studies have …

We have developed a wavelet-multiscale adjoint scheme for the elastic full-waveform
inversion of seismic data, including body waves (BWs) and surface waves (SWs). We start …
