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 …

The interface between subducting oceanic slabs and the hanging wall is a structurally and
lithologically complex region. Chemically disparate lithologies (sedimentary, mafic and …

Three distinct groups of eclogites (low-Mg–Ti eclogites, high-Ti eclogites and Mg-rich
eclogites) and ultramafic rocks from the depth interval of 100–680 m of the Chinese …

Italian Plio-Quaternary magmatism exhibits a very wide petrological, geochemical and
radiogenic-isotope variability, which makes magma genesis and geodynamic significance …

The fluid inclusions preserved in high and ultrahigh pressure rocks provide direct
information on the compositions of fluid phases evolved during subduction zone …

To contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms and pathways of fluid movement
through deeply subducted crust, we investigate high-pressure veins cutting eclogite-facies …

We present an inventory of B, Cl and Li concentrations in (a) key minerals from a set of
ultramafic samples featuring the main evolutionary stages encountered by the subducted …

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 …

Abstract The Monviso ophiolite Lago Superiore Unit (LSU; Western Alps) constitutes a well-
preserved, largely coherent fragment of eclogitic upper oceanic lithosphere subducted to c …

Melting of subducted oceanic sediment is considered to play a key role in the generation of
the arc magmatic signature. We have carried out an experimental study on hydrous melting …
