Information - VGP26 Volatile recycling in subduction zones (co-listed in TS)
Event Information
The understanding of volatile cycling through subduction zones requires an interdisciplinary approach. We think that it is timely to start to combine evidence from different sources to answer questions such as:
- Recent analysis of rock samples has revealed fascinating along-arc geochemical trends which can be related to the signature of the subducting slab. To what extent do these chemical parameters constrain the sources/sinks/fluxes of volatile tracers in subduction zones?
- What do the emissions budgets from arc volcanoes suggest in terms of the balance between volatile element supply at depth and release near the surface?
- To what extent can we constrain the transport of volatiles into and through the subduction zone and how may these processes be better constrained?
We seek contributions from volcanologists, geochemists and geophysicists to identify the outstanding problems and issues in this area.
