Convective flow in the deep mantle controls Earth's dynamic evolution, influences plate
tectonics, and has shaped Earth's current surface features. Present and past convection …

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

The origins of ultralow velocity zones, small-scale structures with extremely low seismic
velocities found near the core–mantle boundary, remain poorly understood. One hypothesis …

Observations of seismic anisotropy yield some of the most direct constraints available on
both past and present-day deformation in the Earth's mantle. Insight into the character of …

Seismic tomography has been a vital tool in probing the Earth's internal structure and
enhancing our knowledge of dynamical processes in the Earth's crust and mantle. While …

We present 817 new SKS/SKKS shear-wave splitting observations to infer the mantle
deformation field in the NE margin of the Tibetan plateau. The obvious pattern of dense …

Recent studies on seismic imaging of the Northwest Pacific and East Asian region are
reviewed. High-resolution tomographic images reveal significant lateral heterogeneities in …

Shear-wave splitting provides insight into geodynamic processes such as lithospheric
deformation and upper mantle flow. This study presents shear wave splitting parameters …

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 …

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 …
