Slab1.0: A three‐dimensional model of global subduction zone geometries

We describe and present a new model of global subduction zone geometries, called Slab1.0. An extension of previous efforts to constrain the two‐dimensional non‐planar geometry of subduction zones around the focus of large earthquakes, Slab1.0 describes the detailed, non‐planar, three‐dimensional geometry of approximately 85% of subduction zones worldwide. While the model focuses on the detailed form of each slab from their trenches through the seismogenic zone, where it combines data sets from active source and passive seismology, it also continues to the limits of their seismic extent in the upper‐mid mantle, providing a uniform approach to the definition of the entire seismically active slab geometry.…
