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 …

This hands-on introduction to numerical geodynamic modelling provides a solid grounding
in the necessary mathematical theory and techniques, including continuum mechanics and …

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 …

A recent global compilation of the thermal structure of subduction zones is used to predict
the metamorphic facies and H2O content of downgoing slabs. Our calculations indicate that …

This essential reference for graduate students and researchers provides a unified treatment
of earthquakes and faulting as two aspects of brittle tectonics at different timescales. The …

Carbon geochemistry of mantle-derived samples suggests that the fluxes and reservoir sizes
associated with deep cycle are in the order of 1012–13gC/yr and 1022–23g C, respectively …

The water cycle at subduction zones remains poorly understood, although subduction is the
only mechanism for water transport deep into Earth. Previous estimates of water flux,–exhibit …

We model 56 segments of subduction zones using kinematically defined slabs based on
updated geometries from Syracuse and Abers (2006) to obtain a comprehensive suite of …

Volatile elements (water, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, halogens, and noble gases) played an
essential role in the secular evolution of the solid Earth and emergence of life. Here we …
