Plate interface rheological switches during subduction infancy: Control on slab penetration and metamorphic sole formation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight two successive rheological switches across the subduction interface (mantle wedge vs basalts, then mantle wedge vs. sediments) during which interplate mechanical coupling is maximized by the existence of transiently similar rheologies across the plate contact.
