We compiled the most relevant data acquired throughout the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP)
from the early expeditions to the most recent. We also analyzed the various explanatory …

IODP Expedition 352 drilled four sites in the Bonin outer forearc, providing a detailed record
of lava eruption and dike emplacement during a short-lived (< 2 Ma) seafloor spreading …

Boninites are rare, high-Si, high-Mg, low-Ti lavas that have considerable tectonic
significance, especially for recognizing and interpreting episodes of subduction initiation in …

Arc basalts are more oxidized than mid-ocean ridge basalts, but it is unclear whether this
difference is due to differentiation processes in the Earth's crust or to a fundamental …

Abstract International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 352 to the Izu‐Bonin forearc
cored over 800 m of basement comprising boninite and boninite‐series lavas. This is the …

Serpentinite dehydration during subduction releases fluids into the sub‐arc mantle, yet the
oxidizing capability of these fluids remains controversial. Here, redox‐sensitive Cu isotopes …

Abstract The Grenada Basin separates the active Lesser Antilles Arc from the Aves Ridge,
described as a Cretaceous‐Paleocene remnant of the “Great Arc of the Caribbean.” …

The evolution of the Neotethyan realm played an important role in sha** the Phanerozoic
paleogeographic framework of Earth, as well as the formation of the Tibetan Plateau …

Subduction zone magmas are produced by melting depleted mantle metasomatized by
fluids released from the subducted slab. In most subduction zones, formation of backarc …

The development of ideas leading to a greater understanding of subduction initiation is
limited by the scarcity of present-day examples. Furthermore, the few examples identified so …
