Variability of subducting slab morphologies in the mantle transition zone: Insight from petrological-thermomechanical modeling
Variable morphologies of subducting slabs are observed in tomographic images of the
mantle transition zone (MTZ), where slabs appear to stagnate in the MTZ or enter the lower …

Earth's multi-scale topographic response to global mantle flow
Earth's surface topography is a direct physical expression of our planet's dynamics. Most is
isostatic, controlled by thickness and density variations within the crust and lithosphere, but …

Overriding plate deformation and topography during slab rollback and slab rollover: insights from subduction experiments
Some subduction zones in nature show mainly overriding plate (OP) extension and low
topography, and others show mainly shortening and elevated topography. Here we …
