Depth Dependent Deformation and Anisotropy of Pyrolite in the Earth's Lower Mantle
GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
08 june 2024
Jeffrey Gay, Julien Chantel, Matthias Krug, Estell...

Seismic anisotropy is a powerful tool to map deformation processes in the deep Earth. Below 660 km, however, observations are scarce and confl...
