We have determined experimentally the hydrous phase relations and trace element partitioning behaviour of ocean floor basalt protoliths at pressures and temperatures (3 GPa, 750-1000°C) relevant to melting in subduction zones. To avoid potential complexities associated with trace element doping of s...
