We summarize the uptake of carbon and sulfur during serpentinization of seafloor peridotites, and discuss the fate of these volatiles during subduction of serpentinite. We use …
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 oxygen fugacities of nine mantle-derived komatiitic and picritic systems ranging in age from 3.55 Ga to modern day were determined using the redox-sensitive partitioning of V …
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 …
A model for the incorporation of alumina in FeO–MgO–Al 2 O 3–SiO 2–H 2 O (FMASH) serpentinites has been developed by considering ideal Tschermak (Al 2 Mg− 1 Si− 1) solid …
Fluids in the deep crust and upper mantle appear to have played roles in the long-term evolution of the subcratonic lithospheric mantle and the stabilities of the continents, in the …
High-pressure dehydration of serpentinite during subduction generates fluids that flux and melt the overlying mantle wedge, forming primary arc basalts. These basalts are …
We use the concentrations and isotope compositions of water, carbon, and sulfur in serpentinites and their dehydration products to trace the cycling of volatiles during …
Subduction zones facilitate chemical exchanges between Earth's deep interior and volcanism that affects habitability of the surface environment. Lavas erupted at subduction …
