A review of the current understanding of seismic shear-wave splitting in the Earth's crust and common fallacies in interpretation

S Crampin, S Peacock - Wave Motion, 2008 - Elsevier
Azimuthally-aligned shear-wave splitting is widely observed in the Earth's crust. The splitting
is diagnostic of some form of seismic anisotropy, although the cause of this anisotropy has …

A review of techniques for measuring shear-wave splitting above small earthquakes

S Crampin, Y Gao - Physics of the earth and planetary interiors, 2006 - Elsevier
Seismic shear-wave splitting is difficult to measure accurately because of the complexity of
the shear-wave signal. A variety of techniques have been developed for measuring time …

Shear wave splitting and mantle anisotropy: Measurements, interpretations, and new directions

MD Long, PG Silver - Surveys in Geophysics, 2009 - Springer
Measurements of the splitting or birefringence of seismic shear waves that have passed

We perform a systematic analysis of crustal anisotropy along and around the Karadere—
Düzce branch of the North Anatolian fault (NAF), which ruptured during the 1999 Mw 7.4 …

Multiscale spatial distribution of crustal seismic anisotropy beneath the northeastern margin of the Tibetan plateau and tectonic implications of the Haiyuan fault

Y Shi, Y Gao, X Shen, KH Liu - Tectonophysics, 2020 - Elsevier
The Haiyuan fault is a large strike-slip fault in the northeastern (NE) margin of the Tibetan
plateau. Using new data recorded by a temporary seismic array, this study obtains crustal …

Shallow seismic trapping structure in the San Jacinto fault zone near Anza, California

MA Lewis, Z Peng, Y Ben-Zion… - Geophysical Journal …, 2005 - academic.oup.com
