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 …

Seismic anisotropy has been widely observed in crust and mantle materials and plays a key
role in the understanding of structure and flow patterns. Although seismic anisotropy can be …

The lower crust is, on average, mafic in composition and composed of minerals that remain
mechanically strong up to high temperatures. Here we show that dissolution-precipitation …

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 …

Measurements of single-crystal elastic moduli under ambient conditions are reported for
nine calcium to calcium-sodium amphiboles that lie in the composition range of common …

Amphibole peridotites and neighboring hornblendites are often found in subduction zones.
To understand the effect of amphibole-rich rocks on seismic anisotropy in subduction zones …

The composition and deformation patterns in the deep crust of southeastern Tibet are
remain controversial. In this study, we present microstructures, fabric and seismic properties …

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 …

Primary multiphase fluid inclusions (MFI) were studied in one eclogite and two granulites
from the Cabo Ortegal Complex (COC, NW Spain) by means of Raman imaging, Scanning …
