Description for Plate Deformation from Cradle to Grave: Seismic Anisotropy and Deformation at Mid-Ocean Ridges and in the Lowermost Mantle (Springer Theses)
Hardcover. This book presents a comprehensive review of the current state of the art in studying flow with anisotropy, mineral physics and geodynamics. It describes several novel methods for the modeling and interpretation of shear wave splitting. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 166 pages, 9 black & white illustrations, 61 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHVG; PNV; RBGD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 160 x 243 x 15. Weight in Grams: 416.
The Earth's rocky mantle convects to lose heat, which comes from the liquid iron core below. The mantle's interfaces - the core-mantle boundary, and the lithosphere - may hold the key to understanding mantle motion because of the seismic anisotropy present in these parts of the Earth.
In this thesis, Andy Nowacki presents a precise but comprehensive review of the current state of the art in studying flow with anisotropy, mineral physics and geodynamics. New measurements of shear wave anisotropy in the lowermost mantle and at mid-ocean ridges are used to constrain mechanisms of creep and melt extraction ... Read more

About Andy Nowacki
Andy Nowacki is currently a seismologist at the University of Bristol whose recent research has focussed on using seismic anisotropy to study the dynamics of the lowermost and uppermost mantles. Incorporating mineral physics, geodynamics and seismic wave propagation, he has attempted to integrate recent advances in geophysics to better understand the Earth's mantle. Other interests include microseismicity at divergent plate boundaries ... Read more
