The Geophysics and Geochemistry of Terrestrial Environments

Explore cutting-edge research on subduction zones and terrestrial geochemistry in this 66-minute conference session from the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting. Delve into the inner workings of the "subduction factory" through an invited talk, followed by presentations on oxygen isotope records in garnets, garnet growth as a proxy for subduction zone dehydration, and the connections between slab dehydration, mantle wedge serpentinization, and arc volcanism in the Izu-Bonin-Marianas. Gain insights into the complex geophysical and geochemical processes shaping Earth's terrestrial environments from leading experts in the field.
