Abstract: Abstract High-resolution images of Earth’s interior provide pivotal information for the understanding of a range of geodynamic processes, including continental subduction and exhumation of ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks. Here we present a synthesis of available… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abp9482
Abstract: Subduction is the main process that recycles surface material into the mantle. Fluids and melts derived by dehydration and partial melting reactions of subducted continental crust, a major reservoir of volatiles (i.e., H2O and CO2)… read more here.
