Adakite was originally proposed as a genetic term to define intermediate to high-silica, high
Sr/Y and La/Yb volcanic and plutonic rocks derived from melting of the basaltic portion of …

Water is a key ingredient in the generation of magmas in subduction zones. This review
focuses on the role of water in the generation of magmas in the mantle wedge, the factors …

Differentiation of hydrous primary, mantle-derived magmas is a fundamental process to
generate evolved intermediate to SiO2-rich compositions forming the bulk of the continental …

A model for the generation of intermediate and silicic igneous rocks is presented, based on
experimental data and numerical modelling. The model is directed at subduction-related …

Cordilleran orogenic systems, such as the modern Andes, are long belts of deformation and
magmatism that are associated with the subduction of oceanic plates beneath continental …

Field, geochronological and geophysical studies show that many igneous bodies are
emplaced incrementally, growing by accretion of successive magma sheets. The existence …

Owing to advances in microanalytical techniques over the last 15 years, there is a growing
database on the volatile contents of subduction-related magmas as recorded in melt (glass) …

Boninites are rare, high-Si, high-Mg, low-Ti lavas that have considerable tectonic
significance, especially for recognizing and interpreting episodes of subduction initiation in …

Basaltic magmatism is a common feature of dynamically active terrestrial planets. The
compositions of basalts reflect the temperatures and pressures of magma generation …

We extracted all volcanic arc rock analyses calculated to be in equilibrium with mantle
olivine from the global georoc database. This results in 938 primitive melt compositions from …
