Seismic Anisotropy of Mafic Blueschists: EBSD‐Based Constraints From the Exhumed Rock Record

Seismic Anisotropy of Mafic Blueschists: EBSD‐Based Constraints From the Exhumed Rock Record Ott, Jason N; Condit, Cailey B; Schulte‐Pelkum, Vera; Bernard, Rachel; Pec, Matej Seismic anisotropy constitutes a useful tool for imaging the structure along the plate interface in subduction zones, but the seismic properties of mafic blueschists, a common rock type in subduction zones, remain poorly constrained. We applied the technique of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) based petrofabric analy
