Dynamics of subducted slabs in the Earth's mantle
In previous research, the distribution of subducted slabs in the Earth's lower mantle, calculated based on subduction history and dynamic flow (shown in the figure below) was compared to seismic tomography images.
Currently, I am participating in the Crust to Core Marie Curie Research Training Network.
