The geochemical signatures of subducting crust have been identified in various types of
mafic igneous rocks at convergent plate boundaries, where island arc basalts (IAB) and …

Phase diagrams of hydrous mid-ocean ridge (MOR) basalts to 330 km depth and of hydrous
peridotites to 250 km depth are compiled for conditions characteristic for subduction zones …

Recently measured partition coefficients for Rb, Th, U, Nb, La (Ce), Pb, Sr, Sm, Zr, and Y
between lherzolite assemblage minerals and H 2 O-rich fluid (Ayers et al. 1997; Brenan et …

Major and trace element and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic variations in mafic volcanic rocks hve been
studied in a 220 km transect across the Kamchatka arc from the Eastern Volcanic Front, over …

The sedimentary section (at DSDP Site 495) on the subducting Cocos Plate has large
stratigraphic changes in incompatible elements and element ratios, the result of early …

Hf isotope compositions, coupled with Pb‐Sr‐Nd isotopes and trace element compositions,
for the Miocene to the Quaternary volcanic rocks from the NE Japan arc have documented …

Quaternary lavas from the NE Japan arc show geochemical evidence of mixing between
mantle-derived basalts and crustal melts at the magmatic front, whereas significant crustal …

Abstract Southwestern Japan during Paleogene time was affected by subduction of the Kula
and Pacific plates beneath the eastern margin of Eurasia, followed by a brief episode of …

Li isotope was analyzed in island arc volcanics from the Izu arc, Japan, to investigate
geochemical processes in subduction zones. Li isotope ratios (δ7Li) and Li/Y of the arc …

Geochemically discriminating between magmatism in different tectonic settings remains a
fundamental part of understanding the processes of magma generation within the Earth's …
