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 transport of water from subducting crust into the mantle is mainly dictated by the stability
of hydrous minerals in subduction zones. The thermal structure of subduction zones is a key …

Water is a key ingredient in the generation of magmas in subduction zones. This review
focuses on the role of water in the generation of magmas in the mantle wedge, the factors …

Subducted crust refertilizes the subarc mantle wedge as well as the deep convecting mantle.
In the subarc region, mass transfer occurs mainly through fluids, melts, or supercritical …

The maximum-pressure Psingle bondT conditions (P max–T) and prograde Psingle bondT
paths of exhumed subduction-related metamorphic rocks are compared to predictions of …

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 …

Seismic S-wave receiver functions (SRF) are a uniquely powerful tool for imaging velocity
discontinuities within the upper mantle. SRF data frequently contain negative phases at …

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 mechanisms of transfer of crustal material from the subducting slab to the overlying
mantle wedge are still debated. Mélange rocks, formed by mixing of sediments, oceanic …

For over 50 years, the use of high-pressure piston/cylinder apparatus combined with an
increasing diversity of microbeam analytical techniques has enabled the study of mantle …
