Physical and Chemical State of Subducting Slabs and Slab-Mantle Interface - Forearc, Subarc, and Beyond
Offered By: AGU via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Delve into a comprehensive conference session from the AGU Fall Meeting 2011 focusing on the physical and chemical state of subducting slabs and the slab-mantle interface. Explore cutting-edge research and discussions on forearc, subarc, and beyond regions presented by leading experts in the field. Gain insights into the complex processes occurring at the boundaries between tectonic plates, including the transformation of oceanic crust and sediments as they descend into the Earth's mantle. Learn about the latest findings on fluid-rock interactions, metamorphic reactions, and geochemical cycling in subduction zones. Enhance your understanding of the dynamic interplay between subducting slabs and the surrounding mantle, and its implications for global geodynamics, volcanism, and seismicity.
