Abstract The West Pacific Margin incorporates 75% of global marginal basins/back-arc
basins. These basins and their adjacent trenches and island arcs constitute a huge trench …

Basalt belongs to materials widely used in engineering. Basalt-based products are common
in civil engineering, automotive, or boat building, but they can be found, eg, also in wind …

Slab dehydration at subduction zones has broad implications for arc magmatism, mantle
heterogeneity and elemental cycling. We present the petrography, mineral chemistry and …

Forearc magmatism in IBM-type intra-oceanic arc systems is crucial for understanding the
processes of subduction initiation and subsequent evolution of the arc system. Here we …

Arc magmas are usually more oxidized than lavas from intraplate settings and spreading
ridges. However, iron isotopes of arc magmas are generally lighter, and the mechanism is …

Abstract The Dadeville Complex of Alabama and Georgia (southeastern United States)
represents the largest suite of exposed mafic-ultramafic rocks in the southern Appalachians …

The Wilson cycle predicted that the passive continental margin finally collapses and forms a
new subduction zone, because the transition between oceanic and continental lithosphere …

Abstract The southeastern Tibetan Plateau experienced intense Cenozoic shortening and
extrusion along the western Yangtze Craton, SW China, where the Permian Emeishan flood …

Chemostratigraphy of lavas in extrusive sequences of modern and ancient forearc
environments provides significant information on oceanic crust formation through …

ABSTRACT Boninites (BONs), high-Mg andesites (HMAs), and related lavas and dikes of
Palaeogene ophiolites of the SW Pacific in Papua, New Guinea, New Caledonia, and the …
