Geochemical Evidence for Slab Melting in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt
Geochemical studies of Plio-Quaternary volcanic rocks from the Valle de Bravo-Zitacuaro volcanic field (VBZ) in central Mexico indicate that slab melting plays a key role in the petrogenesis of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.

Flux melting of subducting carbonated sediments: An experimental study
Subduction zones play a critical role in the global carbon cycle by regulating carbon exchange between the Earth's surface and interior. Processes that are known to release carbon from the slab, including metamorphic decarbonation and carbonate ...

Arc volcanism is a key process influencing Earth’s climate, continental growth, and the formation of mineral deposits. Therefore in this contribution, we have compiled whole-rock geochemistry of frontal arc and rear-/back-arc basalts, crustal thickness ...

Production of High‐Sr Andesite and Dacite Magmas by Melting of Subducting Oceanic Lithosphere at Propagating Slab Tears [PDF]
We present K-Ar ages, major and trace element concentrations, and Sr-Nd-Pb isotope data for late Cenozoic volcanic rocks from the Chugoku district, southwest Japan arc.

Molybdenum isotopes unmask slab dehydration and melting beneath the Mariana arc
How serpentinites in the forearc mantle and subducted lithosphere become involved in enriching the subarc mantle source of arc magmas is controversial.

Cenozoic volcanic rocks in the East Asian continental margin usually form because of asthenosphere upwelling and resultant decompression melting, and their origins are important in deciphering mantle geodynamics attributed to intraplate volcanism.

Adakites are Y- and Yb-depleted, SiO2- and Sr-enriched rocks with elevated Sr/Y and La/Yb ratios originally thought to represent partial melts of subducted metabasalt, based on their association with the subduction of young ( 20 ppm) arc basalts in ...

Are Adakites Slab Melts or High-pressure Fractionated Mantle Melts? [PDF]
Adakites are unusual felsic igneous rocks commonly associated with asthenospheric slab window opening or fast subduction of a young (

Greenland Ice Sheet Ice Slab Expansion and Thickening
We use airborne accumulation radar data acquired over the Greenland Ice Sheet between 2002 and 2018 to identify changes in ice slab extent and thickness. We show that ice slabs several meters thick were already present at least as early as 2002.
