[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 …

Sea-level trends across The Bahamas constrain peak last interglacial ice melt

B Dyer, J Austermann, WJ D'Andrea… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
During the last interglacial (LIG) period, global mean sea level (GMSL) was higher than at
present, likely driven by greater high-latitude insolation. Past sea-level estimates require …
