Latitude-dependent oxygen fugacity in arc magmas
The redox state of arc mantle has been considered to be more oxidized and diverse than
that of the mid-ocean ridge, but the cause of the variation is debated. We examine the redox …

Garnet crystallization does not drive oxidation at arcs
M Holycross, E Cottrell - Science, 2023 - science.org
Arc magmas, the building blocks of continental crust, are depleted in total iron (Fe), have
higher ratios of oxidized Fe to total Fe (Fe3+/∑ Fe), and record higher oxygen fugacities (f …
