The processes affecting the mantle wedge atop a subduction zone (deformation and interaction with fluids/melts released by the downgoing plate) play a major role on subduction zones dynamics and the global geochemical budget of the Earth.To better constrain these processes, my Ph.D. research project has focused on studying the basal banded unit of the Semail ophiolite. This 200-500m thick peridotitic basal unit was (de)formed, directly above the interplate interface, during the intra-oceanic subduction (or underthrusting) initiation (that ultimately led to the ophiolite obduction). The banded unit indeed overlies the HT metamorphic sole (amphibolites to granulites ; 750-850°C and 0.9-1.1GPa) interpreted as slices of the downgoing plate...
