The thermal structure of subduction zones constrained by seismic imaging: Implications for slab dehydration and wedge flow

GA Abers, PE van Keken, EA Kneller, A Ferris… - Earth and Planetary …, 2006 - Elsevier
Thermal models of subduction zones often base their slab–wedge geometry from seismicity
at mantle depths and, consequently, cannot be used to evaluate the relationship between …

Rapid synconvergent exhumation of Miocene-aged lower orogenic crust in the eastern Himalaya
