Seismic anisotropy reveals focused mantle flow around the Calabrian slab (Southern Italy)

SKS splitting at the Calabrian subduction zone, with delay times ( δ t) up to 3s, reveals the presence of a strong anisotropic fabric. Fast directions (ϕ) are oriented NNE‐SSW in the Calabrian Arc (C.A.) and rotate NNW‐SSE to the north following the arcuate shape of the subducting plate. We interpre... View More
