Subduction initiation and igneous petrogenesis: characterizing melt generation at a new convergent boundary through the geochemical analysis of volcanic glass

The impact of subduction initiation on regional to global tectonics and the compositions of major Earth reservoirs are topics of vigorous ongoing research. Here, pristine glasses extracted from ~51.9 Myr old basalts and younger boninites that erupted in the Izu-Bonin Mariana forearc immediately afte...
