Funds that are provided will extend the use of the Lithium proxy to the arc systems. The objectives are to determine the isotopic variaion of Lithium in lavas as a funciton of the nature of subarc mantle, the extent of modification by subduction components, the mass transfer processes and the physical conditions of the subduction environment. In addition, sediment flux carried by the down-going plate will also be estimated to assess lithium recycling at the convergent margins. Samples from the Cascadia, Aleutian and Tonga-Kermadec Arcs will be analyzed.

提供的资金将将锂代理的使用扩展到弧系统。 这些目的是确定熔岩中锂的同位素变化，作为Subarc地幔性质的构思，俯冲成分修饰的程度，质量转移过程和俯冲环境的物理条件。 此外，还将估计由下板携带的沉积物通量评估收敛边缘处的锂回收利用。 将分析来自Cascadia，Aleutian和Tonga-Kermadec弧的样品。
