Subducting volcaniclastic-rich upper crust supplies fluids for shallow megathrust and slow slip
Recurring slow slip along near-trench megathrust faults occurs at many subduction zones,
but for unknown reasons, this process is not universal. Fluid overpressures are implicated in …

Clinopyroxene–liquid equilibria and geothermobarometry in natural and experimental tholeiites: the 2014–2015 Holuhraun eruption, Iceland
Clinopyroxene–liquid geothermobarometry is a widely used tool for estimating the
conditions under which mafic magmas are stored before they erupt. However, redox …
