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 …

Seismic anisotropy constitutes a useful tool for imaging the structure along the plate
interface in subduction zones, but the seismic properties of mafic blueschists, a common …

Understanding the deformation microstructures and seismic properties of blueschists is
important for interpreting the seismic anisotropy at the top of subducting oceanic crust. The …

To investigate the mechanical and microstructural properties of mafic blueschists, we
conducted deformation experiments on powdered natural blueschist aggregates using the …

Anisotropic structures within the crust are frequently perceived to originate from stress-
induced cracks, which have been mainly estimated on land through different wave speeds of …
