Gravity anomalies, flexure and mantle rheology seaward of circum-Pacific trenches

We have used ensemble averages of satellite-derived free-air gravity anomaly data, together with inverse modelling techniques, to determine the effective elastic thickness, Te, of circum- Pacific subducting oceanic lithosphere and its relationship to plate age. Synthetic modelling tests show that Te...
