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 …

Earth crustal model 1 (ECM1): A 1 x 1 global seismic and density model
Abstract Earth Crustal Model 1 (ECM1) is a 1° x 1° global crustal model that describes the
thickness of the crust, including the overlying sediments, and the corresponding seismic …

The role of ridges in the formation and longevity of flat slabs
Flat-slab subduction occurs when the descending plate becomes horizontal at some depth
before resuming its descent into the mantle. It is often proposed as a mechanism for the …
