On the relationship between azimuthal anisotropy from shear wave splitting and surface wave tomography (2012, background): “This optimistic scenario ∣Da∣ is about as good as these comparisons get; 19° angular misfit is comparable or somewhat larger than the best match between geodynamic models and shear wave splitting [e.g., Becker et al., 2006a; Conrad and Behn, 2010] and better than the match of geodynamic models to su”
Mantle dynamics and seismic anisotropy (2010, background): “, Ricard and Vigny, 1989) and a recent review is given by Forte (2007). Lateral viscosity variations are expected to be of importance particularly for the upper mantle, and those require either iterative, spectral solutions (e.”
The solid Earth’s influence on sea level (2013, background): “…appropriate reference frame for plate motions is debated, most constraints currently suggest that net rotation is less than ~0.26°/m.y. (for a review, see Conrad and Behn, 2010), which implies that continental motion relative to dynamic topography is currently causing at least some sea-level rise.”
