- Abstract:
- We propose a 2-year project to measure and interpret depth-dependent variations in upper-mantle anisotropy beneath the global network of seismic stations. This will be accomplished through collaboration with the International Seismological Centre (ISC), where the objective is to develop an automated procedure to measure and report shear-wave splitting in teleseismic data. Linked numerical modelling of anisotropy and shear-wave splitting for a variety of tectonic settings will be used to guide the interpretation of the splitting measurements. We will assess to what degree the anisotropy is associated with current plate motions versus fabric frozen into the mantle during earlier deformation episodes.
