Abstract The Central Mediterranean region is one of the most important areas on Earth for
studying subduction-related potassic and ultrapotassic magmatism, derived from partial …

Generation and extraction of partial melts from the interior of rocky planets are essential
steps for supplying heat and life-essential nutrients to the surface environments …

Biotite (sensu lato) is a widespread rock‐forming mineral in magmatic rocks that can be
stable in a broad range of pressure and temperature, but appropriate biotite thermometers or …

Much of the present-day volume of Earth's continental crust had formed by the end of the
Archean Eon, 2.5 billion years ago, through the conversion of basaltic (mafic) crust into sodic …

We have experimentally investigated the fluid-absent melting of a phlogopite peridotite at
1.0 GPa (1000–1300° C) to understand the source of K 2 O-and SiO 2-rich magmas that …

More than half a gigaton of CO2 is subducted into Earth's interior each year. At least 40% of
this CO2 is returned to the atmosphere by arc volcanism,,. Processes that are known to …

For over 50 years, the use of high-pressure piston/cylinder apparatus combined with an
increasing diversity of microbeam analytical techniques has enabled the study of mantle …

The role of water in the uppermost mantle has been explored to 6 GPa (∼ 200 km) by a
novel experimental approach in which the silicate melting solidus, the stability of hydrous …

Melting experiments have been performed at 3 GPa, between 1150 and 1450° C, on a
phlogopite-peridotite source in the garnet stability field. We succeeded to extract and …

Much of the long-term carbon cycle in solid earth occurs in subduction zones, where
processes of devolatilization, partial melting of carbonated rocks, and dissolution of …
