SIP: An international conference zooming on the subducting plate interface

The Subduction Interface Processes – SIP – Conference (Barcelona, April 18-21, 2017) was organized in the frame of ZIP, with contribution by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) through the Barcelona Centre for Subsurface Imaging (Barcelona- CSI). It was a very pleasant, successful meeting at the Hotel Rey Don Jaime, Castelldefels (Barcelona). The Conference aimed at bridging the gap between the various Earth Science communities and enhancing future collaborations on subduction processes. Contributions across different disciplines included surface processes, structural geology and geodynamics, petrology, rheology, geochemistry, geophysics and numerical modelling. Keynote presentations introduced each session theme, which ended with general discussion. The invited keynote speakers and leaders of the final discussions included S. Kodaira, L. Mc Neill, D. Fischer, J.M. Nocquet, S. Sobolev, K. Wang, A. Schubnel, H. Raimbourg, G. Abers and H. Marschall.

P7 Fluids and melts in the subduction factory: genesis and implications

Subduction zones are active geodynamic environments enabling crustal recycing into the mantle and generating new continental crust. Of particular importance is the slab-mantle wedge system at 40-200 km depth. It is increasingly recognized that subduction materials are modified in this region by metamorphism, metasomatism and mechanical mixing with vast implications for the physico-chemical state of subduction zones. At the plate-interface of subduction zones, fluids, melts and rocks derived from subducting lithosphere interact with depleted mantle in a region of strong chemical and physical gradients. These interactions mediate planetary-scale volatile cycling, produce arc magmas and continental crust and yield modified subducted lithosphere and mantle-wedge peridotites whose chemical signals may persist in the deep Earth for billions of years. We welcome all contributions from geochemistry, petrology, experimental, modeling and field studies that address the major processes operating in the subduction system through geologic time from trenches to depths of ~100 km and beyond.

Deadline for abstract submission is May 9

We look forward to attract your interest and see many of you at the session
