Rock anisotropy is an intrinsic property of natural rock mass, and layered rock has the most
significant effect on the stress distribution and deformation of a rock mass. With the …

Continental lithosphere is deformed, destroyed, or otherwise modified in several ways.
Processes that modify the lithosphere include subduction, terrane accretion, orogenesis …

The largest seismic event ever recorded on Mars, with a moment magnitude of 4.7±0.2, is
the first event to produce both Love and Rayleigh wave signals. We measured their group …

The fast orientation and magnitude of crustal azimuthal anisotropy beneath the southeastern
Tibetan Plateau and adjacent areas are measured by analyzing the sinusoidal moveout of …

The complex tectonic setting of south-central Alaska is characterized by a transition from
normally-dipping subduction of the Pacific plate in the west to near-flat slab subduction of …

Seismic anisotropy is controlled by aligned rock‐forming minerals, which most studies
attribute to solid‐state shear with less consideration for magmatic fabric in plutonic rocks …

Orthopyroxene is the second most abundant mineral in the upper mantle and, like olivine,
can form crystallographic preferred orientations (CPO) during mantle deformation that may …

We build a new radially anisotropic shear wave velocity model of Southern California based
on ambient noise adjoint tomography to investigate crustal deformation associated with …

Megathrusts at convergent plate boundaries generate the largest and some of the most
hazardous earthquakes on Earth. However, their physical properties, including those …

Volcano monitoring and eruption forecasting require accurate characterization of
transcrustal magmatic structures to place volcanic unrest in context within the system where …
