A decade of shear‐wave splitting in the Earth's crust: what does it mean? what use can we make of it? and what should we do next?

Abstract

This paper briefly reviews the past 10 years, and speculates on how best we can exploit this new window of opportunity for exploring the internal structure of the crust. In particular, what causes the shear‐wave splitting? what use can we make of the phenomenon? and what should we do next? Copyright © 1991, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
