Shear-Wave Anisotropy Measurements in the Crust from Receiver Functions: An Interplay of Lower and Upper Crustal Anisotropy

We report a study using teleseismic <i>P</i>-wave receiver functions to infer the orientation of the maximum horizontal principal stress from the direction of upper crustal shear-wave velocity anisotropy. We apply an inverse approach using the Neighborhood Algorithm to conduct a nonlinea...
