Constraining Mantle Viscosity Structure From a Statistical Analysis of Slab Stagnation Events
Abstract The viscosity structure of Earth's mantle, even the 1‐D radial viscosity profile, remains not well constrained. The dynamics of the subducting slabs is strongly affected by, and can be used to constrain, the viscosity structure of the mantle. Here, we perform fully dynamic, self‐consis...
