The main aim of the present Ph.D. thesis is to improve our understanding of carbonation processes of serpentinized peridotite and the fate of serpentinite-hosted carbon during highpressure metamorphism, in order to better constrain their role in the deep carbon cycle of subduction zones. To advance...
