Group A: "Slabs in the transition zone". Participants : G. Leahy, V. Lekic, U. Manners, C. Reif, J. van Summeren, T-L. Tseng, M. Billen, W-P. Chen, A. Dziewonski
Group B: "Seismic Velocity gradients across the transition zone". Participants: F. Cammarano , C. Dalton , N. de Koker , F. Marone, A. Piazzoni, Y. Wang, B. Romanowicz
