Abstract

Elastic properties of rock-forming minerals and their pressure and temperature derivatives are estimated using inversion of pressure- and temperature-dependent P and S velocities. The elastic constants obtained by the new method are tested against averaged Voigt-Reuss-Hill elastic constants obtained experimentally on single crystals.
