Seismic anisotropy produced by aligned olivine in oceanic lithosphere offers a window into mid-ocean ridge dynamics. Yet, interpreting anisotropy in the context of grain-scale deformation processes and strain observed in laboratory experiments and …
The breakup of supercontinent Pangea occurred ∼200 Ma forming the Eastern North American Margin (ENAM). Yet, the precise timing and mechanics of breakup and onset of seafloor spreading remain poorly constrained. We investigate the relict lithosphere …
The Pacific ocean‐bottom seismometer (OBS) Research into Convecting Asthenosphere (ORCA) experiment deployed two 30‐station seismic arrays between 2018 and 2020——a US contribution to the international PacificArray project. The “Young ORCA” array …
