[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 …

Plume‐induced sinking of intracontinental lithospheric mantle: An overlooked mechanism of subduction initiation?
Although many different mechanisms for subduction initiation have been proposed, only few
of them are viable in terms of consistency with observations and reproducibility in numerical …

Long wavelength progressive plateau uplift in Eastern Anatolia since 20 Ma: implications for the role of slab peel‐Back and Break‐off
Stratigraphic evidence is used to interpret that the East Anatolian Plateau with 2 km average
elevation today was below sea level~ 20 Ma and uplift began in the northern part. The …
