[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 …

Stagnant slabs in the upper and lower mantle transition region
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
The fast marching method (FMM) is a grid based numerical scheme for tracking the
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
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
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
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
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?
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 …
