The concentration and distribution of water in the Earth has influenced its evolution
throughout its history. Even at the trace levels contained in the planet's deep interior (mantle …

A series of porphyry-type Cu-(Mo)-(Au) deposits including some giant world-class deposits
such as Kounrad, Aktogai, Kal'makyr, Oyu Tolgoi and Chalukou occur in the Central Asian …

Interactions between crustal and mantle reservoirs dominate the surface inventory of volatile
elements over geological time, moderating atmospheric composition and maintaining a life …

Arc magmas globally are H2O-Cl-S–rich and moderately oxidized (ΔFMQ=+ 1 to+ 2) relative
to most other mantle-derived magmas (ΔFMQ≤ 0). Their relatively high oxidation state limits …

High-pressure dehydration of serpentinite during subduction generates fluids that flux and
melt the overlying mantle wedge, forming primary arc basalts. These basalts are …

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 …

The observation that primitive arc magmas are more oxidized than mid-ocean-ridge basalts
has led to the paradigm that slab-derived fluids carry SO2 and CO2 that metasomatize and …

Recent geochemical evidence confirms the oxidized nature of arc magmas, but the
underlying processes that regulate the redox state of the subarc mantle remain yet to be …

Subduction zones are one of the most important sites of chemical interchange between the
Earth's surface and interior. One means of explaining the high Fe3+/ΣFe ratios and oxidized …
