Global Slab Geometry Movies


Figure 1 (Jadamec, 2018) These are the 16 videos of virtual voyages through the Earth's interior exploring the modern slab geometries. These 16 videos accompany the Earth and Space Science, 2018, manuscript entitled "A Visual Survey of Global Slab Geometries with ShowEarthModel and Implications for a Three-dimensional Subduction Paradigm" by Margarete Jadamec, Oliver Kreylos, Benjamin Chang, Karen Fischer, M. Burak Yikilmaz. doi:10.1002/2017EA000349

Data sources: 1-Gudmundsson and Sambridge [1998] slab contours in 50 km. 2-Syracuse and Abers [2006] slab contours in 50 km. 3-Hayes et al. [2012] slab surfaces. 4-Bird [2003] plate boundaries. 5-Engdahl and Villaseñor [2002] earthquake hypocenters. 6-Jadamec and Billen [2010] slab surface. 7-Jadamec and Fischer [2013] slab surfaces.
