Mantle dynamics and seismic anisotropy (2010, methodology): “In addition to constraints provided from shear wave splitting observations, insights about the character of mantle flow in subduction systems have been provided by geodynamic modeling (e.g., reviews by Billen, 2008; Becker and Faccenna, 2009).”
TX2019slab: A New P and S Tomography Model Incorporating Subducting Slabs (2019, background): “Subduction of oceanic lithosphere is believed to play a critical role in large‐scale mantle convection (e.g., Billen, 2008; Kellogg et al., 1999).”
Intermediate-spin ferrous iron in lower mantle perovskite (2007, background): “The inferred distribution of Fe 2+ spin states in lower-mantle silicate perovskite on the basis of current thermal model”
The seismic cycle at subduction thrusts: Insights from seismo‐thermo‐mechanical models (2013, background): “To benefit from the feedback of self-consistent, long-term subduction dynamics [e.g., Billen, 2008; van Dinther et al., 2010], we need to model a slab up to at least the 660 km discontinuity.”
