How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Geophysics of Chemical Heterogeneity in the Mantle (2012, background): “…comparisons with the history of past subduction, we now have considerable evidence that at least some subducting slabs traverse the entire mantle, whereas others may stagnate, at least temporarily, in the transition zone (Fukao et al. 2009, Grand et al. 1997, Lithgow-Bertelloni & Richards 1998).”
Seismic imaging: From classical to adjoint tomography (2012, background): “…1994), upper mantle transition zone (Becker et al., 2003; Gu et al., 2001; Mégnin and Romanowicz, 2000; Widiyantoro and van der Hilst, 1997, see Fukao et al., 2001, 2009 for reviews regarding regional subduction slab analysis), mid/lower mantle (Boschi and Ekström, 2002; Grand et al., 1997; Gu…”
Evidence of Volatile‐Induced Melting in the Northeast Asian Upper Mantle (2021, background): “This result is possibly caused by differences in the age of the onset of the subduction and the size of the stagnant slab in the transition zone (Fukao et al., 2009).”
Rheology of the Earth's mantle: A historical review (2010, background): “Starting from mid-1980s, highresolution tomographic images of whole mantle became available (e.g., Dziewonski, 1984; Dziewonski and Woodhouse, 1987; Fukao et al., 1992, 2009; Zhao, 2009), and furthermore anisotropic structures have been revealed at the global scale (e.g., Montagner and Tanimoto,…”
