SUBDUCTION ZONE THERMAL STRUCTURE AND MINERALOGY AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO SEISMIC-WAVE REFLECTIONS AND CONVERSIONS AT THE SLAB MANTLE INTERFACE
- Abstract:
-
Seismological studies of the interface between downgoing slabs of subducted lithosphere and the overriding mantle provide constraints against which models of mantle and slab temperature and bulk composition can be tested. These studies, employing waves reflected and converted at the slab/mantle interface, suggest that a velocity contrast of 5-10% occurs over a distance of 10-20 km to depths of at least 350 km. We have investigated whether such sharp contrasts can result from thermal structure...

Clearance
-
Some thesis volumes scanned as part of the digitisation scheme funded by Dr Leonard Polonsky are currently unavailable due to sensitive material or uncleared third-party copyright content. We are attempting to contact authors whose theses are affected.
Alternative access to the full-text
