Central America subduction zone characteristics (2009)

Coupled model of deformation, fluid flow, and melting representing the Central Costa Rica. Such coupled models predict the development of a hydrated low viscosity zone on top of the slab and self consistent mantle flow field and melt fraction [after Hebert et al., 2009].
