[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 …
