Water-fluxed melting, also known as fluid-or water-present melting, is a fundamental process
in the differentiation of continents but its importance has been underestimated in the past 20 …

Global data for measured Fe 2 O 3/FeO ratios and Cu contents in unaltered volcanic and
intrusive arc rocks indicate that, on average, they are slightly more oxidized than other …

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 …

Metals such as Cu, Mo, Au, Sn, and W in porphyry and related epithermal mineral deposits
are derived predominantly from the associated magmas, via magmatic–hydrothermal fluids …

Tectonic Implications of the Composition of Volcanic Arc Magmas ADS Classic is now
deprecated. It will be completely retired in October 2019. This page will automatically …

Examination of an extensive adakite geochemical database identifies two distinct
compositional groups. One consists of high-SiO2 adakites (HSA) which is considered to …

Subduction zones are unique to Earth and fundamental in its evolution, yet we still know little
about the causes and mechanisms of their initiation. Numerical models show that far-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 …
