SUBDUCTION ZONE THERMAL STRUCTURE AND MINERALOGY AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO SEISMIC-WAVE REFLECTIONS AND CONVERSIONS AT THE SLAB MANTLE INTERFACE

Seismological studies of the interface between downgoing slabs of subducted lithosphere and the overriding mantle provide constraints against which models of mantle and slab temperature and bulk composition can be tested. These studies, employing waves reflected and converted at the slab/mantle inte...
