IBERIAN LITHOSPHERE HETEROGENEITY AND ANISOTROPY

Objective



A large part of the lithosphere is to some extent seismically anisotrophic and laterally heterogeneous. Models that assume isotrophy and homogeneous geology are inadequate to explain details of lithospheric structure in complex areas - which are usually the ones of most interest. In the last ten years, much emphasis has been placed on learning more about these important features of the earth's crust and mantle. Most of this research has been carried out by earth scientists from European institutions. Moreover, many recent advances in this field have originated in Europe where the number of workers engaged in both practical and theoretical research is steadily increasing.
