'Wet' low angle subduction: a possible mechanism below the Tanzania craton 2Ga ago

The hypothesis that much of the lithosphere of the Archaean Tanzania Craton was hydrated, by the dehydration of a buoyant subduction 2Ga ago is presented in this study. Buoyant subduction is a potential mechanism for thermal erosion and metasomatism of extensive regions of the cold overlying contine...
