Temperatures and Cooling Rates Recorded by the New Caledonia Ophiolite: Implications for Cooling Mechanisms in Young Forearc Sequences

Abstract To unveil how forearc lithosphere cools and re‐equilibrates, we carried out a comprehensive geothermometric investigation of the New Caledonia ophiolite, which represents a rare example of proto‐arc section generated during subduction infancy. A large data set, including more than 80 sample...
