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 …

An accurate assessment of the bulk chemical composition of Mars is fundamental to
understanding planetary accretion, differentiation, mantle evolution, the nature of the …

We model 56 segments of subduction zones using kinematically defined slabs based on
updated geometries from Syracuse and Abers (2006) to obtain a comprehensive suite of …

Beginning with basic principles, this advanced text gives a complete treatment of
deformation and flow of earth materials from both the continuum mechanics and the …

The influence of water on the dynamics of the oceanic upper mantle is re-evaluated based
on recent experimental constraints on the solubility of water in mantle minerals and earlier …

Results of high-pressure experiments on samples of hydrated mantle rocks show that the
serpentine mineral antigorite is stable to∼ 720° C at 2 gigapascals, to∼ 690° C at 3 …

This study explores a chemo-thermo-dynamic subduction zone model that solves for slab
dehydration during subduction. We investigate how changes in the incoming plate's …

We determined a new 3‐DP‐wave velocity model of the upper mantle beneath eastern Tibet
using 112,613 high‐quality arrival‐time data collected from teleseismic seismograms …

Calcic amphiboles were synthesized from a natural mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) in 39
experiments representing 24 sets of pressure-temperature (PT) conditions ranging from 650 …

In the early 1980s, evidence that crustal rocks had reached temperatures> 1000° C at
normal lower crustal pressures while others had followed low thermal gradients to record …
