Subduction zones and volcanic arcs are the most tectonically active regions on Earth and are crucial to understanding, geochemical cycles, tectonic-climate coupling, ore genesis and natural hazards. Bimodal volcanism is a long-recognised characteristic of arc crust that has never been satisfactorily explained, yet, it controls many of these processes. This project will test a new hypothesis that the two types of magmas originate from distinct mantle sources. It integrates novel high-pressure experiments with database analysis of natural volcanic rocks, covering magmatic systems from mantle source to volcano. This project will improve our understanding of arc processes, including the association of economic metals with bimodal arc volcanism.

俯冲带和火山弧是地球上构造最活跃的区域，对于理解、地球化学循环、构造-气候耦合、矿石成因和自然灾害至关重要。双峰式火山活动是弧地壳的一个长期公认的特征，但从未得到令人满意的解释，然而，它控制着许多这些过程。该项目将检验一个新的假设，即两种类型的岩浆源自不同的地幔源头。它将新颖的高压实验与天然火山岩的数据库分析相结合，涵盖了从地幔源到火山的岩浆系统。该项目将增进我们对电弧过程的理解，包括经济金属与双峰电弧火山作用的关联。
