The lithium isotopic composition of orogenic eclogites and deep subducted slabs

We have modelled the Li budget of subducting oceanic crust during dehydration, using recently established input parameters. The results show that the entire prograde metamorphic process, up to anhydrous eclogite, can account for a decrease in δ7Li of only ≤ 3‰. Given that altered, oceanic crust ente...
