Heavy magnesium isotopic signatures in arc lavas may be attributed to dehydration of subducting hydrated mantle

Abstract Fluids released from subducting slabs profoundly affect mantle composition, rock melting points, and arc magma generation. However, identifying fluid sources (sediments, crust, or mantle) and their ascent paths remains challenging. Magnesium isotopes are potential tracers for subduction-rel...
