Published in 2019 at "Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems"

DOI: 10.1029/2019gc008373

Abstract: Seismic anisotropy records past and present tectonic deformations and provides important constraints for understanding the structure and dynamics of the Earth's interior. In this work, we use tremendous amounts of high‐quality Pwave arrival times from… read more here.
