Effects of partial melting on seismic velocity and attenuation: A new insight from experiments

Y Takei - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2017 - annualreviews.org
The effects of partial melting on seismic velocity and attenuation have long been studied by
focusing on the direct effects of melt, such as the poroelastic effect. The direct effects are …
