Asthenospheric channeling of the Icelandic upwelling: Evidence from seismic anisotropy
Two end-member geometries, radial flow and ridge-channeled flow, have been proposed for the dispersion of material upwelling beneath Iceland. Seismic anisotropy provides information on mantle flow, and therefore has the potential to discriminate these two geometries. In this study, we combine the HOTSPOT and SIL datasets (39 stations) and select 28 events for teleseismic shear-wave splitting an...

LÕanalyse de la texture du sel gemme naturel et du halite dform exprimentalement a montr quÕil se produit une orientation prfrentiel le du rseau dans les cristaux de halite. Les paramtres dÕlasticit pour une srie dÕagrgats polycristallins de halite sont calculs en utilisant les fonctions de distribution dÕorientation. Ils sont alors utiliss pour laborer des modles sismiques dans...
متن کاملConstraints on Subduction Geodynamics from Seismic Anisotropy
[1] Much progress has been made over the past several decades in delineating the structure of subducting slabs, but several key aspects of their dynamics remain poorly constrained. Major unsolved problems in subduction geodynamics include those related to mantle wedge viscosity and rheology, slab hydration and dehydration, mechanical coupling between slabs and the ambient mantle, the geometry o...
متن کاملThe development of magmatism along the Cameroon Volcanic Line: Evidence from seismicity and seismic anisotropy
The Cameroon Volcanic Line (CVL) straddles the continent-ocean boundary in West Africa but exhibits no clear age progression. This renders it difficult to explain by traditional plume/plate motion hypotheses; thus, there remains no consensus on the processes responsible for its development. To understand better the nature of asthenospheric flow beneath the CVL, and the effects of hotspot tecton...
