@misc{12641, author = {Stuart Clark}, title = {The Time-Dependant Evolution of Subduction Zones: Interactions of the Lithosphere and Mantle}, abstract = {The process of subduction is one of the main ways that the mantle and the Earth\&$\#$39;s surface interact. Digital or analogue models of this process have lacked detailed constraints derived from surface observables and the time-evolution of subduction has been little understood. This research has provided a user-interactive methodology for combining mantle models with observables. The results have implications for the relative importance of the upper mantle in vertical displacements of the Earth\&$\#$39;s surface. Finally, self-evolving models of subduction have been used to understand the time-evolution of the crust overriding the down-going plate.}, year = {2007}, journal = {http://www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.de/teaching/seminars/talkdetails/394}, month = {November}, note = {http://www.geophysik.uni-muenchen.de/teaching/seminars/talkdetails/394}, }
