Seismology

separation of a shear wave into two polarized waves of different speed in an anisotropic medium, measured to infer mantle flow and deformation.

In seismology, shear wave splitting refers to separation of a shear wave into two polarized waves of different speed in an anisotropic medium, measured to infer mantle flow and deformation. This meaning comes from Silver (1991) in Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth.[1]
