Abstract:Aqueous fluids are essential to extract slab‐trapped carbon at forearc to subarc depths and interpret the decarbonation efficiency of global subduction zones. A large amount of carbon survives beyond subarc depths. The behavior of such carbon, however, remains unclear owing to a lack of experimental studies. Here, we investigate the decarbonation behavior of carbonated oceanic crust containing different amounts of H2O at pressures from subarc depths to the top of the mantle transition zone. We find that calciu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
