Seismic visibility of carbonated subducted oceanic crust in the lower mantle

Abstract Seismological studies have previously detected abundant scatterers in the lower mantle, potentially linked to long-term slab subduction, and petrology studies suggest carbonates can be sequestrated within the oceanic crust and transported into the lower mantle via subduction. Here, we repor...
