Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Hydrogen and deuterium isotopic evidence indicates that the source of terrestrial water was
mostly meteorites, with additional influx from nebula gas during accretion. There are two …

Europa likely contains an iron‐rich metal core. For it to have formed, temperatures within
Europa reached 1250 K. Going up to that temperature, accreted chondritic minerals—for …

Double seismic zones (DSZs) are a feature of some subducting slabs, where intermediate-
depth earthquakes (~ 70–300 km) align along two separate planes. The upper seismic …

Geological sources of H2 and abiotic CH4 have had a critical role in the evolution of our
planet and the development of life and sustainability of the deep subsurface biosphere. Yet …

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 nature and cause of deep earthquakes remain enduring unknowns in the field of
seismology. We present new models of thermal structures of subducted slabs traced to …

Deep earthquakes behave like shallow earthquakes but must have fundamentally different
physical processes. Their rupture behaviors, magnitude-frequency statistics, and aftershocks …

This contribution investigates mechanisms controlling subduction development and
stabilization over time (coined as' slabitization'), from a nascent slab to a mature slab …

The past 40 years have been a golden age for eclogite studies, supported by an ever wider
range of instrumentation and enhanced computational capabilities, linked with ongoing …
