Subduction Dynamics and Mantle Pressure: 2. Towards a Global Understanding of Slab Dip and Upper Mantle Circulation

©2020. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. We investigate the relationship between the global distribution of deep slab dips (at 250- to 300-km depth) and pressure and circulation in the upper mantle. Using an analytic method to compute dynamic pressure in a 3-D global upper mantle doma...
