Evidence for serpentinization of the forearc mantle wedge along the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
[1] Characterizing the hydration state of the forearc mantle wedge yields valuable information on frictional stability at the downdip edge of subduction megathrusts. Simultaneous inversion of Pand S-wave arrival times collected as part of the Costa Rica Seismogenic Zone Experiment yields 1D and 3D Pand S-wave velocity models (VP and VS) for the Nicoya Peninsula segment of the Middle America Tre...
متن کاملPeridotites from the Mariana Trough: first look at the mantle beneath an active back-arc basin
Two dives of the DSV Shinkai 6500 in the Mariana Trough back-arc basin in the western Pacific sampled back-arc basin mantle exposures. Reports of peridotite exposures in back-arc basin setting are very limited and the lack of samples has hindered our understanding of this important aspect of lithospheric evolution. The Mariana Trough is a slow-spreading ridge, and ultramafic exposures with asso...
متن کاملTrace Element Geochemistry of Peridotites from the Izu - Bonin - Mariana Forearc , Leg 125
Trace element analyses (first-series transition elements, Ti, Rb, Sr, Zr, Y, Nb, and REE) were carried out on whole rocks and minerals from 10 peridotite samples from both Conical Seamount in the Mariana forearc and Torishima Forearc Seamount in the Izu-Bonin forearc using a combination of XRF, ID-MS, ICP-MS, and ion microprobe. The concentrations of incompatible trace elements are generally lo...
متن کاملThematic Article A bathymetric overview of the Mariana forearc
Bathymetric data at a 200-m contour interval for the entire Mariana forearc, from south of 13°N to 25°N, permits the ®rst comprehensive overview of this feature. The Mariana forearc represents a sediment-starved end-member. The forearc in its southern and central sections is divisible into a structurally complex eastern province and a less-deformed western province. Despite the absence of an ac...
