Weighted Average Models: post processing to improve the reliability of the seismic tomography.
Seismic tomography depends on several parameters "tuned" by the operators to achieve the results. However this arbitrary choice can strongly affect the results... the WAM method can strongly reduce this effect making the models more reliable and better resolved...

Subduction of Ionian plate (southern Italy)
Fluids play an important role on the subduction processes... in the Ionian plate the geometry of the slab and the changes of mineral phases with depth drive the geodynamics of the region.
