V11D:
The Ophiolite-Subduction Connection: Using Peridotites as Analogs for Subduction Zone Mantle Posters


Session ID#: 8521

Session Description:
Supra-subduction zone ophiolites, which form in the mantle wedge of nascent subduction zones, preserve mantle lithologies that formed in response to hydrous melting. The refractory residuum of this process enhances our understanding of the geochemical flux in the mantle wedge and is critical to our understanding of the ‘subduction factory’ and resulting arc volcanism. The resulting architecture of these ophiolites demonstrates that they are petrologically and chemically distinct from igneous rocks formed at modern spreading centers in the major ocean basins. Abstracts addressing ophiolite petrogenesis with respect to subduction initiation, peridotite geochemistry, extent and nature of melt extraction, extent of fluid flux through the mantle wedge, and subsequent mantle-melt interactions are welcomed. This session aims to integrate the chemical and physical structure of the mantle wedge, address controversial origins of well-known ophiolites, and discuss the diversity in the architecture and geochemical fingerprints observed in ophiolites.
