At plate boundaries, where deformation is localized along centimetre-to kilometre-scale
shear zones, the influence of serpentinite on tectonic processes is linked to its unique …

Variable morphologies of subducting slabs are observed in tomographic images of the
mantle transition zone (MTZ), where slabs appear to stagnate in the MTZ or enter the lower …

Europa likely contains an iron‐rich metal core. For it to have formed, temperatures within
Europa reached 1250 K. Going up to that temperature, accreted chondritic minerals—for …

Water within the oceanic lithosphere is returned to Earth's surface at subduction zones.
Observations of metamorphosed veins preserved in exhumed slabs suggest that fluid can …

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 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 …

High-pressure dehydration of serpentinite during subduction generates fluids that flux and
melt the overlying mantle wedge, forming primary arc basalts. These basalts are …

Fluid–rock interactions are a fundamental component of geodynamic processes. They link
mass and energy transfer with large-scale tectonic deformation and drive mineral deposit …

The oceanic crust that enters a subduction zone is generally recycled to great depth. In rare
and punctuated episodes, however, blueschists and eclogites derived from subducted …

The chemistry of aqueous fluids controls the transport and exchange—the cycles—of
metals,,,, and volatile elements,, on Earth. Subduction zones, where oceanic plates sink into …
