Supercomputer models reveal secrets of subducted oceanic slabs
An international research collaboration has harnessed supercomputing power to better understand how massive slabs of ancient ocean floors are shaped as they sink hundreds of kilometres below the Earth's surface. Sophisticated computer models developed by researchers in the UK, Switzerland and the USA has cast new light on the complex physical interactions which govern the sliding and sinking of the ancient ocean floor also referred to as subducted slabs through the Earth's mantle, a process known as subduction.
