Session ID#: 9788
Session Description:
This session aims to explore the complex processes linking subduction dynamics and arc volcanism. We focus particularly on reconciling geochemical and geophysical observables with dynamic processes. Subduction zones exhibit heterogeneity in composition and thickness of subducting sediments, slab age and morphology, faulting characteristics, and thermal structure. This heterogeneity leads to temporal and spatial variability in mantle flow, seismicity, magma composition and productivity, and rates of subduction and back-arc spreading. The physical-chemical conditions and processes in arc systems have been inferred from geophysical and geochemical observations, experimental rheologic data, and geodynamic modeling. We invite contributions from these disciplines and others that link the physical-chemical conditions at volcanic arcs and the underlying mantle wedge with the dynamic processes in subduction zones.
