Savani: A variable resolution whole‐mantle model of anisotropic shear velocity variations based on multiple data sets (2014, background): “Most mantle-based anisotropy is related to mantle flow via the alignment of intrinsically anisotropic minerals, and anisotropy is thus a useful proxy for mantle convection [e.g., Long and Becker, 2010].”
Seismic observations of large-scale deformation at the bottom of fast-moving plates (2012, background): “This interpretation is substantiated by the general agreement between anisotropy and the global mantle flow that can be computed from geodynamic model (Becker et al., 2007; Long and Becker, 2010).”
An anisotropic shear velocity model of the Earth's mantle using normal modes, body waves, surface waves and long-period waveforms (2014, background): “The anisotropic variations can be used to address questions on mantle rheology and on planetary-scale dynamics such as the evolution of plate motions (e.g. Gaboret et al. 2003; Becker et al. 2003, 2008; Long & Becker 2010).”
On the relationship between azimuthal anisotropy from shear wave splitting and surface wave tomography (2012, background): “provides a meaningful reference for geodynamic interpretation [Long and Becker, 2010].”
