Anomalous Vp/Vs ratios at seismic frequencies might evidence highly damaged rocks in subduction zones

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Lucas Xan Pimienta

Unusually high compressional (P) to shear (S) wave velocity ratios (V-p/V-s) were measured at different subduction zones and interpreted as fluid-pressurized regions. Because no laboratory data reported such high values in isotropic rocks, mineralogical or ...
