Spatially and Geochemically Anomalous Arc Magmatism: Insights From the Andean Arc by Gideon Rosenbaum, John T. Caulfield, Teresa Ubide, Jack F. Ward, Dan Sandiford, Mike Sandiford

“…Using Holocene volcanoes in South America as a case study, we document the spatial and geochemical patterns along the Andean volcanic belt. To determine whether spatial variations are also geochemically anomalous, we assess a series of geochemical indices that provide information on the depth and degree of melting, and the role of metasomatic subduction inputs in melt generation. …”
