[HTML][HTML] Atlas of the underworld: Slab remnants in the mantle, their sinking history, and a new outlook on lower mantle viscosity
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 …

Ophiolites and their origins
Y Dilek, H Furnes - Elements, 2014 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Ophiolites are suites of temporally and spatially associated ultramafic, mafic, and felsic rocks

Zagros orogeny: a subduction-dominated process
This paper presents a synthetic view of the geodynamic evolution of the Zagros orogen

Forced subduction initiation recorded in the sole and crust of the Semail Ophiolite of Oman
Subduction zones are unique to Earth and fundamental in its evolution, yet we still know little
about the causes and mechanisms of their initiation. Numerical models show that far-field …
