Lithium systematics in global arc magmas and the importance of crustal thickening for lithium enrichment

Lithium systematics in global arc magmas and the importance of crustal thickening for lithium enrichment

The exact origin of lithium enrichment in arc magmatic systems is unclear. Here the authors conduct a global systematics of lithium, explaining why volcanic arcs built on thickened crust are most lithium-enriched, which sheds light on the future exploration of lithium resources.
