The generation, preservation and destruction of continental crust on Earth is of wide interest
in understanding the formation of continents, cratons and supercontinents as well as related …

Continental magmatic arcs form above subduction zones where the upper plate is
continental lithosphere and/or accreted transitional lithosphere. The best-studied examples …

Crustal recycling at convergent plate boundaries is essential to mantle heterogeneity.
However, crustal signatures in the mantle source of basaltic rocks above subduction zones …

The lower plate is the dominant agent in modern convergent margins characterized by
active subduction, as negatively buoyant oceanic lithosphere sinks into the asthenosphere …

Adakite was originally proposed as a genetic term to define intermediate to high-silica, high
Sr/Y and La/Yb volcanic and plutonic rocks derived from melting of the basaltic portion of …

The Treatise on Geochemistry is the first work providing a comprehensive, integrated
summary of the present state of geochemistry. It deals with all the major subjects in the field …

Laboratory experiments on natural, hydrous basalts at 1–4 GPa constrain the composition of
“unadulterated” partial melts of eclogitized oceanic crust within downgoing lithospheric slabs …

Subduction zones are where sediments, oceanic crust, and mantle lithosphere return to and
reequilibrate with Earth's mantle. Subduction zones are interior expressions of Earth's …

The name of “adakite” is used to describe a far too large group of rocks, whose sole common
feature is high Sr/Y and La/Yb ratios. However, such a signature can be achieved via …

We extracted all volcanic arc rock analyses calculated to be in equilibrium with mantle
olivine from the global georoc database. This results in 938 primitive melt compositions from …
