Structure and Evolution of the Oceanic Lithosphere-Asthenosphere System from High-Resolution Surface-Wave Imaging ...
In this thesis, I investigate the seismic structure of oceanic lithosphere and asthenosphere with a particular focus on seismic anisotropy, using high-resolution surface waves recorded on ocean-bottom seismometers (OBS) in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The NoMelt (~70 Ma) and Young OBS Research i...
