Comprehensive Understanding of Melting Processes at Subduction Zones - Part 1
Offered By: AGU via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore cutting-edge research on melting processes at subduction zones in this comprehensive conference session from the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting. Delve into experimental studies of hydrous mantle melting, numerical models of mantle wedge structure, and constraints on flux melting in subduction zones. Examine seismic imaging techniques revealing mantle melting beneath island arcs and backarc spreading centers. Investigate 3D decompressional melting evidence from Cascadia and shear velocity structures in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Analyze U-series and beryllium isotopes to uncover crustal and mantle processes in Chile's Southern Volcanic Zone. Study volatile contents in olivine-hosted melt inclusions from the Cascade Arc and explore adakite generation in cold subduction zones. Gain insights from leading experts through invited talks and cutting-edge research presentations in this nearly two-hour session on subduction zone melting processes.
