The Aegean Arc represents a dynamic convergent boundary where the African plate subducts beneath the Eurasian plate. This geodynamic setting has given rise to a chain of volcanic centres characterised ...

Bringing a novel approach to a classic problem, researchers have revealed how changes in ocean chemistry over the past 2 billion years have left an imprint on volcanic rocks formed in island arcs.

Mount Rainier (Figure 2.1) is one of about two dozen recently active volcanoes in the Cascade Range, a volcanic arc formed by subduction of the Juan de Fuca plate beneath the North American plate.
