Anisotropic shear‐wave velocity structure of the Earth's mantle: A global model (2008, unknown): “The superplumes are likely to be anisotropic [e.g., Kendall, 2000; Lay et al., 1998]; however, velocity-anisotropy trade-offs may be responsible for one third of the amplitudes of the v SH < v SV anomalies within the superplumes in our inversion.”
High‐pressure elastic properties of major materials of Earth's mantle from first principles (2001, background): “The study of the elasticity of Earth materials has become increasingly important over the last decade, as contributions from global seismic tomography, seismological investigations of geographically and radially localized regions, mantle discontinuities, analysis of normal modes of oscillations, and”
Comparison of azimuthal seismic anisotropy from surface waves and finite strain from global mantle-circulation models (2003, background): “Anisotropy in the deep lithosphere and upper mantle is most likely to be predominantly caused by the alignment of intrinsically anisotropic olivine crystals (lattice-preferred orientation, LPO) in mantle flow (e.g. Nicolas & Christensen 1987; Mainprice et al.”
Statistical properties of seismic anisotropy predicted by upper mantle geodynamic models (2006, unknown): “This gross behavior is, of course, not surprising, as such alignment of a axes is the basis of any of the geodynamic modeling attempts for Atype slip systems [e.g., McKenzie, 1979; Nicolas and Christensen, 1987; Mainprice and Silver, 1993; Mainprice et al., 2000].”
Grain-size-sensitive seismic wave attenuation in polycrystalline olivine (2002, methodology): “respectively, for the alternative Andrade and extended Burgers rheologies [Jackson, 2000] (Figure 4).”
Automation of Shear-Wave Splitting Measurements using Cluster Analysis (2004, background): “Criteria for reliable results were discussed in Savage (1999) and Silver and Chan (1991).”
Postperovskite phase transition and its geophysical implications (2006, background): “…1983; Wysession et al., 1998], S wave polarization anisotropy [e.g., Lay et al., 1998a], anticorrelation between the anomalies in S wave and bulk sound velocities [Su and Dziewonski, 1997; Masters et al., 2000], and an ultralow velocity zone (ULVZ) [e.g., Garnero et al., 1998; Lay et al., 1998b].”
Identifying global seismic anisotropy patterns by correlating shear-wave splitting and surface-wave data (2009, methodology): “This evidence is based on seismological observations as presented in this paper and also on mineralogical studies (e.g., Ben Ismail and Mainprice, 1998; Mainprice et al., 2000; Holtzman et al., 2003).”
Mineralogy and elasticity of the oceanic upper mantle: Origin of the low‐velocity zone (2005, methodology): “A disadvantage of our approach is the large uncertainty and limited spatial resolution of seismological attenuation models as compared with velocity models [Romanowicz and Durek, 2000].”
Deformation of polycrystalline MgO at pressures of the lower mantle (2002, background): “Theoretical calculations of the moduli have been performed to lower mantle conditions [Mehl et al., 1986; Isaak et al., 1990; Karki et al., 1997, 1999; Stixrude, 2000].”
