| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Redox state of the Earth's interior influences on its physical properties and redox sensitive elements (e.g. chalcophiles, siderophiles). Redox state of mantle beneath a subduction zone (wedge mantle), which is the only place where the material on the surface is brought to the deep mantle, is essential to understand the global material cycles, but its estimation is highly controversial. In order to evaluate redox state of wedge mantle, we analyzed sulfur speciation (highly sensitive to redox state) of primitive melt inclusions within Cr-spinel from arc volcanic rocks by soft X-ray microbeam at SPring-8. As a result, we indicate that wedge mantle is oxidized. We expect that we are able to constrain the element enrichment processes at subduction zone.
