Abstract

Isotopes of the uranium decay series can be used to explore geological processes that have taken place on and in the Earth. Such an analysis has now been applied to find out more about a slab of oceanic plate being subducted under southwestern Chile — in effect, this work provides an image of the plate at depth, and helps to relate plate melting to volcanic activity at the surface.
