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 …
Serpentine minerals in natural samples are dominated by lizardite and antigorite. In spite of numerous laboratory experiments, the stability fields of these species remain poorly …
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 …
The role of fluids in earthquake rupture is key to understanding seismic hazards, particularly at subduction zones. The Shumagin Gap, Alaska, is notable due to a paucity of large …
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 investigated the halogen (Cl, F, Br, and I) chemistry of serpentinites that record progressive dehydration during subduction from shallow oceanic environments via …
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 …
Abstract The Monviso ophiolite Lago Superiore Unit (LSU; Western Alps) constitutes a well- preserved, largely coherent fragment of eclogitic upper oceanic lithosphere subducted to c …
This chapter reviews recycling of boron (B) and its isotopes in subduction zones. It discusses the profound changes in B concentrations and B isotope ratios of various materials involved …
