Imaging a steeply dipping subducting slab in Southern Central America

Subduction of oceanic lithosphere leads to large changes in seismic velocities that are observable through converted and scattered teleseismic waves. In this study, we use teleseismic data from a dense broadband seismic experiment in Central America to image a slab that dips > 60°. Although stron...
