We present the first results of a high-resolution teleseismic traveltime tomography and seismic anisotropy study of the lithosphere–asthenosphere system beneath the western Bohemian Massif. The initial high-resolution tomography down to a depth of 250 km did not image any columnar low-velocity anoma...
