Deep-seated slow slip and tremor (SST), including slow slip events, episodic tremor and
slip, and low-frequency earthquakes, occur downdip of the seismogenic zone of numerous …

We review the origin and evolution of the atmospheres of Earth, Venus and Mars from the
time when their accreting bodies were released from the protoplanetary disk a few million …

Many workers accept a metamorphic model for orogenic gold ore formation, where a gold-
bearing aqueous-carbonic fluid is an inherent product of devolatilization across the …

How serpentinites in the forearc mantle and subducted lithosphere become involved in
enriching the subarc mantle source of arc magmas is controversial. Here we report …

Metamorphic devolatilization of subducted slabs generates aqueous fluids that ascend into
the mantle wedge, driving the partial melting that produces arc magmas. These magmas …

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 …

A better understanding of the subduction zone fluid cycle and its chemical–mechanical
feedback requires in-depth knowledge about how fluids flow within and out of descending …

Fluid–rock interactions are a fundamental component of geodynamic processes. They link
mass and energy transfer with large-scale tectonic deformation and drive mineral deposit …

The fate of subducted CO2 remains the subject of widespread disagreement, with different
models predicting either wholesale (up to 99%) decarbonation of the subducting slab or …

The nature and cause of deep earthquakes remain enduring unknowns in the field of
seismology. We present new models of thermal structures of subducted slabs traced to …
