We apply adjoint models of mantle convection to North America since the Late Cretaceous. The present-day mantle structure is constrained by seismic tomography and the time-dependent evolution by...
Reconstructing Farallon plate subduction beneath North America back to the Late Cretaceous (2008)
Liu, Lijun, Spasojevic, Sonja, Gurnis, Michael
Using an inverse mantle convection model that assimilates seismic structure and plate motions, we reconstruct Farallon plate subduction back to 100 million years ago. Models consistent with...
