- Summary:
- To assist future efforts in developing detailed thermal and petrological models of oceanic lithosphere down-wellings, this volume includes a comprehensive review of seismological observations and models. The seismological procedures considered range from travel time constraints on seismic velocity anomalies in the subduction lithospheric slabs to wave conversions and reflections off internal and external slab boundaries. The extensive reference list will be useful to earth science researchers and seismological specialists as a directory to significant critical literature on slab structure.
