Subducting carbon

T Plank, CE Manning - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
A hidden carbon cycle exists inside Earth. Every year, megatons of carbon disappear into
subduction zones, affecting atmospheric carbon dioxide and oxygen over Earth's history …

Crustal magmatic controls on the formation of porphyry copper deposits

JW Park, IH Campbell, M Chiaradia, H Hao… - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2021 - nature.com
Porphyry deposits are large, low-grade metal ore bodies that are formed from hydrothermal

How to make porphyry copper deposits

CTA Lee, M Tang - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2020 - Elsevier
Much of the world's economic copper resources are hosted in porphyry copper deposits
(PCDs), shallow level magmatic intrusions associated mostly with thick (> 45 km) magmatic …

The oxidation state, and sulfur and Cu contents of arc magmas: implications for metallogeny

JP Richards - Lithos, 2015 - Elsevier
Global data for measured Fe 2 O 3/FeO ratios and Cu contents in unaltered volcanic and
intrusive arc rocks indicate that, on average, they are slightly more oxidized than other …

Magmatic to hydrothermal metal fluxes in convergent and collided margins

JP Richards - Ore Geology Reviews, 2011 - Elsevier
Metals such as Cu, Mo, Au, Sn, and W in porphyry and related epithermal mineral deposits
are derived predominantly from the associated magmas, via magmatic–hydrothermal fluids …

Why do mafic arc magmas contain∼ 4 wt% water on average?

T Plank, KA Kelley, MM Zimmer, EH Hauri… - Earth and Planetary …, 2013 - Elsevier
The last 15yr have seen an explosion of data on the volatile contents of magmas parental to
arc volcanoes. This has occurred due to the intense study of melt inclusions trapped in …

Magmatic water content controls the pre-eruptive depth of arc magmas

DJ Rasmussen, TA Plank, DC Roman, MM Zimmer - Science, 2022 - science.org
Vanguard efforts in forecasting volcanic eruptions are turning to physics-based models,
which require quantitative estimates of magma conditions during pre-eruptive storage …

Crustal thickness control on Sr/Y signatures of recent arc magmas: an Earth scale perspective

M Chiaradia - Scientific reports, 2015 - nature.com
Arc magmas originate in subduction zones as partial melts of the mantle, induced by
aqueous fluids/melts liberated by the subducted slab. Subsequently, they rise through and …

Copper enrichment in arc magmas controlled by overriding plate thickness

M Chiaradia - Nature Geoscience, 2014 - nature.com
Porphyry copper systems supply about 75% of the world's copper. They form above
subduction zones and are preferentially associated with calc-alkaline magmas,. Such …

Earth's early continental crust formed from wet and oxidizing arc magmas

RF Ge, SA Wilde, WB Zhu, XL Wang - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
Formation of continental crust has shaped the surface and interior of our planet and
