[HTML][HTML] Atlas of the underworld: Slab remnants in the mantle, their sinking history, and a new outlook on lower mantle viscosity
Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

A transdisciplinary and community-driven database to unravel subduction zone initiation
Subduction zones are pivotal for the recycling of Earth's outer layer into its interior. However,
the conditions under which new subduction zones initiate are enigmatic. Here, we …

Forearc ages reveal extensive short-lived and rapid seafloor spreading following subduction initiation
Abstract The Izu–Bonin–Mariana (IBM) forearc contains a record of a widespread and short-
lived subduction initiation event in the early Eocene. We present new high-precision ages to …
