[HTML][HTML] Atlas of the underworld: Slab remnants in the mantle, their sinking history, and a new outlook on lower mantle viscosity

DG Van der Meer, DJJ Van Hinsbergen, W Spakman - Tectonophysics, 2018 - Elsevier
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 …

Cenozoic geological and plate tectonic evolution of SE Asia and the SW Pacific: computer-based reconstructions, model and animations

R Hall - Journal of Asian earth sciences, 2002 - Elsevier

Subducted slabs stagnant above, penetrating through, and trapped below the 660 km discontinuity

Y Fukao, M Obayashi - Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
A new P wave tomographic model of the mantle was constructed using more than 10 million
