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 …

Chemical geodynamics is an integrated discipline that studies the geochemical structure
and tectonic evolution of geospheres with the aim of linking tectonic processes to …

Crustal recycling at convergent plate boundaries is essential to mantle heterogeneity.
However, crustal signatures in the mantle source of basaltic rocks above subduction zones …

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 …

We summarize the uptake of carbon and sulfur during serpentinization of seafloor
peridotites, and discuss the fate of these volatiles during subduction of serpentinite. We use …

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 …

Abyssal peridotites are oceanic mantle fragments that were recently processed through
ridges and represent residues of both modern and ancient melting. To constrain the nature …

The hydrothermal alteration of mantle rocks (referred to as serpentinization) occurs in
submarine environments extending from mid-ocean ridges to subduction zones …
