Controls on the flow regime and thermal structure of the subduction zone mantle wedge : a systematic 2-D and 3-D investigation

Arc volcanism at subduction zones is likely regulated by the mantle wedge's flow regime and thermal structure and, hence, numerous studies have attempted to quantify the princi- pal controls on mantle wedge conditions. In this thesis, we build on these previous studies by undertaking the first...
