The composition of much of Earth's lower continental crust is enigmatic. Wavespeeds
require that 10–20% of the lower third is mafic, but the available heat-flow and wavespeed …

The formation of the Earth's continents is enigmatic. Volcanic arc magmas generated above
subduction zones have geochemical compositions that are similar to continental crust …

The Treatise on Geochemistry is the first work providing a comprehensive, integrated
summary of the present state of geochemistry. It deals with all the major subjects in the field …

An algorithm for the construction of phase diagram sections is formulated that is well suited
for geodynamic problems in which it is necessary to assess the influence of phase …

Crust extracted from the mantle in arcs is refined into continental crust in subduction zones.
During sediment subduction, subduction erosion, arc subduction, and continent subduction …

Island arc lavas, erupted above subduction zones, commonly contain a geochemical
component derived from partial melting of subducted sediment. It is debated whether this …

The recent geoneutrino experimental results from KamLAND (Kamioka Liquid Scintillator
Antineutrino Detector) and Borexino detectors reveal the usefulness of analyzing the Earth's …

In southern and central Alaska the subduction and active volcanism of the Aleutian
subduction zone give way to a broad plate boundary zone with mountain building and strike …

The intraoceanic Kohistan arc, northern Pakistan, exposes a complete crustal section
composed of infracrustal basal cumulates formed at≤ 55km depth, a broadly …

Fluids derived from the devolatilization of subducting slabs play a critical role in the melting
of the mantle wedge and global geochemical cycles. However, in spite of evidence for the …
