This project will utilize active- and passive source seismic techniques, using short period and broad band OBSs, respectively, in the Mariana forearc, trench, and outer rise, in order to image the distribution of upper mantle serpentinization. This study will address a central question regarding the importance of serpentinite for understanding subduction zones. The research will quantify the flux of water subducted by upper-mantle serpentinite, and explore the relationships between serpentinization and seismicity in the outer forearc and outer rise. Broader Impacts: This study has much relevance to arc magnatism and will help quantify the hydration state of the earth's mantle, thus addressing a primary goal of the Subduction Factory initiative of the MARGINS program. The project provides educational support for several graduate and undergraduate students.

该项目将利用主动和被动源地震技术，分别在马里亚纳前弧、海沟和外隆使用短周期和宽带OBS，以便对上地幔蛇纹化的分布进行成像。这项研究将解决一个中心问题，蛇纹岩的重要性，了解俯冲带。该研究将量化上地幔蛇纹岩俯冲的水通量，并探讨蛇纹岩化与外弧前和外隆地震活动的关系。更广泛的影响：这项研究有很大的相关性弧岩浆，并将有助于量化地球地幔的水合状态，从而解决了俯冲工厂的MARGINS计划的主要目标。该项目为一些研究生和本科生提供教育支持。
