[1] In the paper ‘‘Newtonian versus non-Newtonian upper mantle viscosity: Implications for subduction initiation’’ (Geophysical Research Letters, 32, L19304, doi:10.1029/ 2005GL023457, 2005), there was a typographical error in equation (2). The stress exponent, n, is missing from the denominator in the exponential. The correct form of the viscosity law when no melt is present and water content is constant is given by
