[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 …

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
travel times. The finite‐frequency effect of seismic rays was taken into account by calculating …

A new global model for P wave speed variations in Earth's mantle
We document our tomographic method and present a new global model of three‐
dimensional (3‐D) variations in mantle P wave velocity. The model is parameterized by …

Lithosphere tearing at STEP faults: Response to edges of subduction zones
Slab edges are a relatively common feature in plate tectonics. Two prominent examples are
the northern end of the Tonga subduction zone and the southern end of the New Hebrides …

Subduction-transition zone interaction: A review
As subducting plates reach the base of the upper mantle, some appear to flatten and
stagnate, while others seemingly go through unimpeded. This variable resistance to slab …
