Modeling SPO versus akimotoite fabric-induced azimuthal anisotropy reveals a compositionally heterogeneous lower-mantle transition zone (520-660 km) beneath subduction zones
This preprint describes that the widespread azimuthal anisotropy observed in the subslab lower-mantle transition zone (520-660 km) beneath subduction zones can be explained by unresolved small-scale heterogeneities.
