Compositional evolution of slab-derived fluids during ascent: implications from trace-element partition between hydrous melts and Cl-free or Cl-rich aqueous fluids
Slab-derived supercritical liquids separate into aqueous fluids and hydrous melts during their migration. Separated aqueous fluids further release melt components that cannot be dissolved during ascent. During...

Open AccessTracing the subducting Pacific slab to the mantle transition zone with hydrogen isotopes
Hydrogen isotopes have been widely used as powerful tracers to understand the origin of terrestrial water and the water circulation between the surface and the deep interior of the Earth. However, further quan...

Open AccessA new concept for the genesis of felsic magma: the separation of slab-derived supercritical liquid
Felsic magmas produced at subduction zones have played an important role in the generation and evolution of the continental crust. For the origin of felsic magmas, processes such as fractional crystallization ...
