Over the last decades, numerous studies have emphasized the role of serpentinites in the
subduction zone geodynamics. Their presence and role in subduction environments are …

Where ultramafic rocks are exposed to water at temperatures< 400° C, they inevitably
undergo serpentinization reactions to form serpentine±brucite±talc±magnetite (in addition to …

The key role of serpentinites in the global cycles of volatiles, halogens and fluid-mobile
elements in oceans and in subduction zones is now ascertained by many studies …

Whereas the serpentinization reaction leads to stark differences in the physical properties of
mantle rocks at mid-ocean ridges, the chemical changes associated with this reaction are …

The gabbroic layer comprises the majority of ocean crust. Opportunities to sample this
expansive crustal environment are rare because of the technological demands of deep …

Terra Nova, 23, 171–178, 2011 Abstract Serpentinization of the oceanic lithosphere
contributes significantly to the geochemical cycle from spreading ridges to subduction …

Fluid-mobile element (FME) systematics in serpentinites are key to unravel the environments
of mantle rock hydration, dehydration, and element recycling in subduction zones. Here we …

Whereas the majority of eruptions at oceanic spreading centers produce lavas with relatively
homogeneous mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) compositions, the formation of tholeiitic …

Understanding whether ophiolites formed during subduction inception or above long-lived
subduction zones poses an outstanding challenge as modern examples of incipient …

Serpentinites from subduction environments represent an important sink for fluid-mobile
elements. In order to constrain geochemical behavior of fluid-mobile elements hosted by …
