Geochemical Evidence for Slab Melting in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt

open access: yes, 2006
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

open access: yesGeosystems and Geoenvironment, 2023
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 ...

The factors controlling along-arc and across-arc variations of primitive arc magma compositions: A global perspective

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
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]

open access: yes, 2018
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.

Petrogenesis of the Riacho do Icó Stock: evidence for Neoproterozoic slab melting during accretion tectonics in the Borborema Province?

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Geology, 2020
One of the main characteristics of the Borborema Province in northeastern Brazil is the abundance of granitic domains. The Lagoa das Pedras plutonic-volcanic Complex record remnants of early to late Neoproterozoic primitive to highly evolved magmas. U-Pb

Molybdenum isotopes unmask slab dehydration and melting beneath the Mariana arc

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
How serpentinites in the forearc mantle and subducted lithosphere become involved in enriching the subarc mantle source of arc magmas is controversial.

A Plate‐Mantle Convection System in the West Pacific Revealed by Tertiary Ultramafic‐Mafic Volcanic Rocks in Southeast China

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, 2021
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, High-Nb Basalts and Copper–Gold Deposits in Magmatic Arcs and Collisional Orogens: An Overview

open access: yesGeosciences, 2022
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]

open access: yesJournal of Petrology, 2016
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

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
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.
