The lithium isotope system is increasingly being applied to a variety of Earth science studies,
as the burgeoning literature attests; over 180 papers have been published in the last twelve …

The lzu-Bonin-Mariana (IBM) arc system extends 2800km from near Tokyo, Japan to Guam
and is an outstanding example of an intraoceanic convergent margin (IOCM). Inputs from …

The nine editions of Stable Isotope Geochemistry have appeared over a time span of nearly
50 years. The first edition (1973) appeared as a slim book of 135 pages. Due to the rapid …

A global selection of 56 mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) glasses were analysed for Li and B
abundances and isotopic compositions. Analytical accuracy and precision of analyses …

Subduction zones generate voluminous magma and mediate global element cycling. Fluids
are essential to this activity, yet their behavior is perhaps the most poorly understood aspect …

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 …

In its simplest interpretation, this observation implies only a few thousand years elapse
between'fluid'release from the slab, and eruption of this component in arc lavas. In most …

The Li isotopic composition of the upper continental crust is estimated from the analyses of
well-characterized shales, loess, granites and upper crustal composites (51 samples in total) …

Study of metamorphic suites directly representing the deep subduction of altered oceanic
crust and sediments can help elucidate the geochemical evolution of the forearc-to-subarc …

The significant relative mass difference (c. 16%) between the two stable isotopes of Li
(approximately 6Li 7.5%, 7Li 92.5%), coupled with broad elemental dispersion in Earth and …
