DeBari, Susan M., 1962-

Description

International Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 350 drilled into the relatively unexplored rear arc of the Izu-Bonin-Mariana system (see map). It recovered 2000 meters of volcanic rock core in the spring of 2014. The core has been divided into seven lithostratigraphic units, from age 0 at the top to at least 13 million years at the bottom. I analyzed the major and trace element geochemistry of representative clinopyroxene and glass (in Unit I) and just clinopyroxene (in all other units) in volcaniclastic rocks throughout the core from top to bottom and used them as a proxy for interpreting magma compositional changes through time, which is connected to the development of medium-K2O, light-REE-enriched continental crust (as compared to low-K2O, light-REE-depleted oceanic crust).

Using clinopyroxene mineral chemistry to decipher magma composition changes over 13 million years in the Izu-Bonin volcanic arc
