[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 …

Stagnant slabs in the upper and lower mantle transition region

Y Fukao, S Widiyantoro, M Obayashi - Reviews of Geophysics, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
We made a region‐by‐region examination of subducted slab images along the circum‐
Pacific for some of the recent global mantle tomographic models, specifically for two high …

Wave front evolution in strongly heterogeneous layered media using the fast marching method

N Rawlinson, M Sambridge - Geophysical Journal International, 2004 - academic.oup.com

evolution of monotonically advancing interfaces via finite-difference solution of the eikonal …

On the relationships between slab dip, back‐arc stress, upper plate absolute motion, and crustal nature in subduction zones

S Lallemand, A Heuret… - Geochemistry, Geophysics …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Statistical analysis of modern oceanic subduction zone parameters, such as the age of a
downgoing plate or the absolute plate motions, is performed in order to investigate which …

Subduction-transition zone interaction: A review

S Goes, R Agrusta, J van Hunen, F Garel - Geosphere, 2017 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
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 …

Stagnant slab: a review

Y Fukao, M Obayashi, T Nakakuki… - Annual Review of …, 2009 - annualreviews.org
A stagnant slab is a subducted slab of oceanic lithosphere subhorizontally deflected above,
across, or below the 660 km discontinuity. This phenomenon has now been widely …

Bayesian seismic tomography using normalizing flows

X Zhao, A Curtis, X Zhang - Geophysical Journal International, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We test a fully non-linear method to solve Bayesian seismic tomographic problems using
data consisting of observed traveltimes of first-arriving waves. Rather than using Monte …

On the use of sensitivity tests in seismic tomography

N Rawlinson, W Spakman - Geophysical Journal International, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Sensitivity analysis with synthetic models is widely used in seismic tomography as a means
for assessing the spatial resolution of solutions produced by, in most cases, linear or …

Seismic traveltime tomography of the crust and lithosphere

N Rawlinson, M Sambridge - Advances in geophysics, 2003 - books.google.com
Seismic data represent one of the most valuable resources for investigating the internal
structure and composition of the earth. One of the first people to deduce earth structure from …

Subduction-triggered magmatic pulses: A new class of plumes?

C Faccenna, TW Becker, S Lallemand… - Earth and Planetary …, 2010 - Elsevier
A variety of atypical plume-like structures and focused upwellings that are not rooted in the
lower mantle have recently been discussed, and seismological imaging has shown …
