A review of the geodynamic evolution of flat slab subduction in Mexico, Peru, and Chile
Subducting plates around the globe display a large variability in terms of slab geometry,
including regions where smooth and little variation in subduction parameters is observed …

P and S wave anisotropic tomography of the Banda subduction zone
In subduction zones with slab‐slab interactions, the pattern of mantle convection is very
complex and still unclear. In this study, we jointly invert a large number of P and S wave …
