Core-complex formation driven by lithospheric extension is a first-order process of heat and
mass transfer in the Earth. Core-complex structures have been recognized in the continents …

▪ Abstract The recent recognition of a potentially vast, unexplored hot microbial biosphere
associated with active volcanism along the global mid-ocean ridge network has …

We present a new compilation of physical properties of minerals relevant to subduction
zones and new phase diagrams for mid‐ocean ridge basalt, lherzolite, depleted lherzolite …

The amount of H2O subducted to postarc depths dictates such disparate factors as the
generation of arc and back‐arc magmas, the rheology of the mantle wedge and slab, and …

Arc volcanism is intimately linked to mineral dehydration reactions in the subducting oceanic
mantle, crust, and sediments. The location of slab dehydration reactions depends strongly …

The alteration of upper oceanic crust entails growth of hydrous minerals and loss of
macroporosity, with associated large‐scale fluxes of H2O, CO2, Cl−, and K2O between …

Oceanic core complexes are the uplifted footwalls of very-large-offset low-angle normal
faults that exhume lower crust and mantle rocks onto the seafloor at slow-spreading ridges …

Crystallization experiments were performed at 200 MPa in the temperature range 1150–
950° C at oxygen fugacities corresponding to the quartz–fayalite–magnetite (QFM) and MnO …

Trace element partition coefficients between anorthitic plagioclase and basaltic melts (D)
have been determined experimentally at 0.6 GPa and 1350–1400° C in a lunar high-Ti …

We characterize the textural and geochemical features of ocean crustal zircon recovered
from plagiogranite, evolved gabbro, and metamorphosed ultramafic host-rocks collected …
