Mapping the distribution of seismic anisotropy (radial and azimuthal) provides fascinating insights into dynamic processes of Earth (for example, lithospheric deformation, asthenospheric flow pattern, plate boundary dynamics, core-mantle boundary processes and ice dynamics). However, given the complexity of possible anisotropic structures and symmetries, and the different strengths and weaknesses of various measurement techniques, resolving anisotropy in the Earth remains challenging. The growing volume of seismic data and novel analysis methods allow us to characterize anisotropic properties on different scales and attempt to reconcile seismic observables with experimental results and geodynamic models. The aim of this session is to bring together scientists working on different aspects of seismic anisotropy to provide state-of-the-art insights from both an observational and a modeling point of view.
