CPO2Hill: An Efficient Parametrisation to Infer Anisotropic Viscous Behaviour Directly from Olivine Texture Parameters
Abstract: Anisotropic viscosity is likely prevalent within the upper mantle, but is usually disregarded in geodynamics models. On a crystal scale, olivine’s intrinsic properties are such that dislocation creep occurs over an order of magnitude more easily along olivine’s [100] symmetry axis than along its [001] axis. However, deforming olivine…
