Abstract: Geophysical observations including surface heat flow data indicate the subducting slab becomes fully coupled to the overlying mantle wedge at ∼70–80 km depth. This maximum depth of decoupling (MDD) separates cool, stagnant forearc mantle from… read more here.

Abstract: The maximum depth of sediment biomixing is directly related to the vertical extent of post-depositional environmental alteration in the sediment; consequently, it is important to determine the maximum burrowing depth. This study examined the maximum… read more here.
