Over the last decades, numerous studies have emphasized the role of serpentinites in the
subduction zone geodynamics. Their presence and role in subduction environments are …

Short-and long-term processes at or close to the subduction plate interface (eg, mineral
transformations, fluid release, seismicity and more generally deformation) might be more …

Subduction zones not only return oceanic lithosphere into the mantle, but are also sites
where chemical components are transferred from the downgoing plate back to the surface in …

The geochemical signatures of subducting crust have been identified in various types of
mafic igneous rocks at convergent plate boundaries, where island arc basalts (IAB) and …

At plate boundaries, where deformation is localized along centimetre-to kilometre-scale
shear zones, the influence of serpentinite on tectonic processes is linked to its unique …

Arc magma acquires continental crust-like trace element signatures through selective
recycling of incompatible elements from the subducted slab. The long-standing model of …

Subduction zones facilitate chemical exchanges between Earth's deep interior and
volcanism that affects habitability of the surface environment. Lavas erupted at subduction …

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 …

This chapter reviews recycling of boron (B) and its isotopes in subduction zones. It discusses
the profound changes in B concentrations and B isotope ratios of various materials involved …

Abstract The Monviso ophiolite Lago Superiore Unit (LSU; Western Alps) constitutes a well-
preserved, largely coherent fragment of eclogitic upper oceanic lithosphere subducted to c …
