Generation and extraction of partial melts from the interior of rocky planets are essential
steps for supplying heat and life-essential nutrients to the surface environments …

Fluids in the deep crust and upper mantle appear to have played roles in the long-term
evolution of the subcratonic lithospheric mantle and the stabilities of the continents, in the …

High-pressure COH fluids have a fundamental role in a variety of geological processes.
Their composition in terms of volatile species can control the solidus temperature and …

Low-degree partial melts from deeply subducted, carbonated ocean crust are carbonatite
liquids with∼ 35–47 wt% CO 2. Their reactions with the overlying mantle regulate the slab …

The compositions of mantle-derived magmas indicate a substantial variety in the
abundances of volatiles in the upper mantle. CO 2 and H 2 O depress the melting point of …

Cratonic lithosphere is believed to have been chemically buoyant and mechanically
resistant to destruction over billions of years. Yet the absence of cratonic roots at some …

Alkaline basalts occur widely in intraplate settings and carbonate-bearing mantle sources
such as carbonated peridotites are increasingly regarded to play a key role in their …

The melting behavior of subducted ophicarbonate is experimentally investigated under
conditions relevant for slabs at subarc depths (2.5–6 GPa and 650–1000° C). Hydrous …

Understanding the source lithology of basalts can greatly impact our understanding of
magmatic processes, which can help us gain insight into mantle heterogeneity and crustal …

Carbon is subducted to depths where metamorphism liberates water-bearing fluids. The C-
bearing fluids facilitate partial melting of the upper mantle, generating magmas that may …
