The (super 10) Be flux ratio (8-14%) through the arc constrains the fate of sediments subducted at the trench and requires that a minimum ?10 m of the sediment column must reach the depths of magma generation. Enrichments in subducted sediment-derived (super 10) Be in rear-arc lavas are comparable with those in the volcanic front, despite longer subduction transit times, and require a mechanism for the prolonged release of (super 10) Be from the subducting slab. Cross-arc (super 10) Be enrichments, together with drastic reductions in B/Be, imply a protracted stability of their primary mineralogical host in subducted sediment, white mica (phengite). The persistence of phengite constrains slab surface temperatures to be < 950 degrees C to 165 km depth and limits the extent of partial melting of the slab to < 20%. The simplest interpretation of combined incoming sediment and cross-arc B/Be- (super 10) Be/9Be-epsilon Nd systematics is that the agent of element transfer changes from aqueous fluid-dominated beneath the volcanic front to melt-like beneath the deeper regions of the arc.completedIsotope geochemistryIgneous and metamorphic petrologyactive marginsalkaline earth metalsBe-10/Be-9berylliumboronchemical compositionfluid phasegeochemistryisland arcsisotope ratiosisotopesKuril TrenchlavamagmasmetalsNorth PacificNorthwest PacificPacific Oceanphase equilibriaradioactive isotopessedimentssolid phasestable isotopessubduction zonesWest PacificEnglishgeoscientificInformation145.0000164.000041.000055.0000Kuril Trench
