[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 …

The subduction plate interface: Rock record and mechanical coupling (from long to short timescales)
Short-and long-term processes at or close to the subduction plate interface (eg, mineral
transformations, fluid release, seismicity and more generally deformation) might be more …

Forced subduction initiation recorded in the sole and crust of the Semail Ophiolite of Oman
Subduction zones are unique to Earth and fundamental in its evolution, yet we still know little
about the causes and mechanisms of their initiation. Numerical models show that far-field …

A record of plume-induced plate rotation triggering subduction initiation
The formation of a global network of plate boundaries surrounding a mosaic of lithospheric
fragments was a key step in the emergence of Earth's plate tectonics. So far, propositions for …
