Over the last decades, numerous studies have emphasized the role of serpentinites in the
subduction zone geodynamics. Their presence and role in subduction environments are …

The transport of water from subducting crust into the mantle is mainly dictated by the stability
of hydrous minerals in subduction zones. The thermal structure of subduction zones is a key …

Subducted crust refertilizes the subarc mantle wedge as well as the deep convecting mantle.
In the subarc region, mass transfer occurs mainly through fluids, melts, or supercritical …

Sublithospheric diamonds and the inclusions they may carry crystallize in the
asthenosphere, transition zone, or uppermost lower mantle (from 300 to∼ 800 km), and are …

Ice-rich planets are formed exterior to the water ice line and thus are expected to contain a
substantial amount of ice. The high ice content leads to unique conditions in the interior …

Abstract Super-Earths and sub-Neptunes are the most common planet types in our galaxy. A
subset of these planets is predicted to be water worlds, bodies that are rich in water and …

Estimates of dissolved CO2 in subduction-zone fluids are based on thermodynamic models,
relying on a very sparse experimental data base. Here, we present experimental data at 1–3 …

We report ab initio atomistic simulations of hydrous silicate melts under deep upper mantle
to shallow lower mantle conditions and use them to parameterise density and viscosity …

To understand the stability of hydrous phases in mafic oceanic crust under deep subduction
conditions, high-pressure and high-temperature experiments were conducted on two …

New trace element and Hf–Nd isotope data on post-glacial basalts from Iceland's main rift
zones are used in conjunction with literature data to evaluate the relative importance of …
